Super Eagles star Arokodare set to join Ajax on loan

Super Eagles forward Tolu Arokodare is on the verge of joining Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam on a season-long loan from English club Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano disclosed the development in a post on his official X account on Monday.

According to Romano, the proposed agreement includes Ajax covering the player’s full salary, paying a loan fee to Wolves, and securing a non-compulsory purchase option worth €22 million at the end of the loan spell.

If the move is completed, Arokodare will strengthen Ajax’s attacking options as the Eredivisie club prepares for the new season, while retaining the flexibility to make the transfer permanent next year.

“More on Tolu Arokodare to Ajax exclusive story: Loan with salary fully covered by Ajax, €22m buy option clause not mandatory. Loan fee also included,” Romano disclosed.

He added that Wolves will earn additional bonuses if Ajax qualifies for European competitions under the structured deal.

“Wolves to receive bonuses based on Ajax qualification for European competitions. Here we go,” the Italian added.

The 25-year-old Nigerian striker, signed by Wolves from KRC Genk of Belgium in 2025, heads to Ajax following Wolves’ relegation from the Premier League to the Sky Bet Championship.

Arokodare had earlier been linked with a summer move to Fiorentina of Italy but the transfer failed to see the light of day.

The lanky Nigerian international striker also recently had an issue with Wolves, following the club’s refusal to allow him train with the first team.
