Ajax agree loan with option for Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare | OneFootball

Ajax have agreed a season-long loan for Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare, paving the way for his exit.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, the 25-year-old’s deal includes an option to buy for around £17 million, with Ajax covering his 2026/27 wages and paying a loan fee of one million pounds, plus bonuses linked to European qualification. Wolves signed him for nearly £24 million last summer.

He was deemed surplus to requirements and both parties worked on a move throughout the summer, with Arokodare initially left out of the pre-season camp in Portugal.

He was later flown out for one session to cover Adam Armstrong’s calf issue, but he did not play in a behind closed doors friendly against Estoril, watching from the stands.

After Wolves returned to Compton, a session was cancelled when Arokodare refused to leave the first-team group, and extra security were brought in to prevent a repeat.

He was not banned from the training ground, but he did not feature against Maidenhead or Real Sociedad. He then used social media to challenge what he said were inaccurate media reports, without specifying details or denying the incident.

Fiorentina and Trabzonspor had bids rejected earlier in the window. The club from Türkiye later had an offer accepted, which the player turned down as he preferred Italy, and he has now agreed to move to the Netherlands after Ajax struck terms with Wolves.
