Genoa join Ajax in race for Wolves striker Arokodare | OneFootball

Genoa have joined Fiorentina and Ajax in the race to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Tolu Arokodare, with the Nigerian forward emerging as a potential option for the Serie A club.

According to FirenzeViola.it, citing transfer influencer Fabrizio Romano, the Rossoblù have entered the competition for Arokodare after Fiorentina previously explored a move for the striker.

The Viola were reportedly close to securing his signature before using their final non-EU squad slot on Oulai, forcing them to abandon their pursuit. However, Arokodare could still make the move to Italy, with Genoa now looking to take advantage of the situation.

Arokodare future uncertain as Serie A clubs wait to pounce

The forward’s future at Wolves remains uncertain after reports of tension between the player and the club, including claims he has not been training with the first-team squad.

Genoa now face competition from Ajax, who have followed Arokodare for some time. The 25-year-old’s physical presence and attacking qualities have attracted interest, with several clubs monitoring developments.

The Rossoblù are searching for attacking reinforcements and see the Nigeria international as a potential addition to their squad. However, they may need to move quickly if they want to beat Ajax to his signature.
