Tolu Arokodare undergoes Ajax medical ahead of loan switch from Wolves

Nigeria striker Toluwalase Arokodare has successfully undergone his medical ahead of completing a season-long loan move from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Dutch giants Ajax, NigeriaFootball.ng reports.
Sources close to the Eredivisie champions revealed that the Nigerian international emerged as Ajax’s preferred attacking target as the club intensifies preparations for the 2026/27 campaign.
Arokodare attracted strong interest from several clubs across Europe and Türkiye during the summer transfer window, with Serie A sides Genoa and Fiorentina, Bundesliga outfit Hamburg and Turkish club Trabzonspor all monitoring his situation.
However, Fiorentina’s pursuit failed to materialise after the Italian club and Wolves were unable to reach an agreement on the loan fee and the structure of the player’s wage payments.
Ajax subsequently accelerated negotiations and, on Tuesday, worked to finalise the necessary paperwork to complete the transfer before the close of business or, at the latest, on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old is expected to join the Amsterdam club on an initial season-long loan, with Ajax securing an option to make the deal permanent.
Under the proposed agreement, the Eredivisie champions will have the option to purchase the Nigerian striker for €18 million, with the fee potentially rising to €20 million through performance-related bonuses tied to the club’s qualification for European competitions.
Should the move be completed, Arokodare will become the latest Nigerian player to represent Ajax, with the Dutch club hoping his physical presence, aerial ability and goal-scoring qualities will strengthen their attacking options for the new season.
