Besiktas Eyes Tolu Arokodare to Boost Attack Options
• Punch Newspapers • Sports
Turkish club Besiktas is showing strong interest in Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare, who currently plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to the Turkish outlet Sporx, Arokodare is part of Besiktas's plans to reinforce their frontline ahead of the new season. The 25-year-old striker joined Wolves for a £26 million transfer from Belgian side KRC Genk and is contracted with the Premier League club until June 2029. Due to Wolves' current struggles, sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table and facing relegation, Arokodare is reportedly open to a move to a team competing in European competitions next season. Besiktas is considering utilizing Arokodare alongside South Korean striker Hyeon Gyu Oh, drawing inspiration from the success of Nigerian forwards like Paul Onuachu and Victor Osimhen in the Turkish Super Lig. Arokodare's future remains under close observation as interest from Turkey grows.
