Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare<\/a> is close to sealing a transfer to Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last few days, Wolves have been desperately searching for a new attacker. They have lost their first two games of the season, and they need reinforcements to bolster their attack.<\/p>\n

News broke earlier in the week that they were interested in Christantus Uche<\/a>, but the deal did not work out.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, they quickly moved on from that disappointment and set their sights on signing Tolu Arokodare from Genk.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Super Eagles star contributed 23 goals and seven assists in 45 appearances across all competitions for Genk last season.<\/p>\n

Consequently, he has been linked with clubs like Napoli<\/a>, AC Milan, Manchester United, Benfica, and Bayern Munich<\/a>. But nothing concrete happened.<\/p>\n

However, Wolves have not wasted any time in securing the services of the big 24-year-old marksman, as they quickly opened talks with Genk.<\/p>\n

Now, in a fresh update by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Wolves have reached an agreement with Genk for Arokodare’s transfer.<\/p>\n

The deal has already been concluded and is subject to a medical which is scheduled for Saturday. If all goes according to plan, Arokodare will be a confirmed Wolves player by tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles star is expected to sign a four-year deal at least due to the high fee that Wolves are paying.<\/p>\n

Arokodare is one of the players in Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers<\/a> against Rwanda and South Africa. He will be looking to get his transfer sorted as soon as possible so he can focus on national team duty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
