Tolu Arokodare Set to Join Wolves in Major Transfer From Genk

Wolverhampton Wanderers are close to signing Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare from Belgian club Genk. Arokodare, who was the top scorer in the Belgian Pro League last season with 23 goals, is in England to complete a medical test before sealing the deal. Wolves have started discussions to finalize the transfer.

WOLVES TO COMPLETE STRIKING ADDITION

Wolves will pay Genk around £22.5 million, with potential extra payments for 24-year-old Tolu Arokodare. The player is currently in England, and the transfer should be completed soon. So far this season, Arokodare has scored one goal in four games for Genk, continuing his impressive record with 41 goals and 12 assists in 113 matches overall. This move marks Wolves’ sixth new signing of the summer and doesn’t affect fellow striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is still linked with other clubs.

SQUAD BOOST AHEAD OF THE NEW SEASON

Wolves are eager to enhance their squad after finishing 19th in the Premier League last season. They’ve scored only two goals in their first three games this season and currently sit in 15th place. Arokodare’s arrival is expected to significantly boost their attack, providing manager Vitor Pereira with more options up front. The departure of Arokodare will mean Genk has lost a key forward and will need to adapt accordingly.

LOOKING AHEAD TO KEY FIXTURES

Wolves’ next game is against Brentford, who are currently ranked 13th in the league, two points ahead of Wolves. This match is crucial for both teams, as Wolves could overtake Brentford with a win, which would help them move away from the relegation zone. The signing of Arokodare provides a timely boost as they aim to climb the table. Fans will hope he can make an immediate impact once the deal is confirmed and he is registered to play.
