Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare is at the centre of a late-window transfer tussle, with Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers emerging as front-runners for his signature.

According to The Guardian’s transfer gossip column, Wolves are making strong progress in their pursuit of the Genk top scorer, with discussions advancing positively.

Reports from Molineux News claimed that Arokodare has a gentleman’s agreement with Genk that would allow him to leave if an offer in the region of €20–25 million arrives. The player himself is understood to favour a move to the Premier League, and personal terms are expected to be straightforward.

In a related development, AC Milan have reportedly intensified their interest, with Italian outlets confirming initial contact with Genk.

Report further revealed that Arokodare is “open to a move” to the Italian giants, keeping Milan firmly in contention.

Premier League sides Fulham and Burnley remain linked with the striker, both keen to add firepower before the window shuts. Across Europe, Benfica and Besiktas are also monitoring the situation closely, waiting for potential developments.

Genk, however, are not under pressure to sell cheaply since Manager Thorsten Fink previously dismissed early summer speculation as mere rumours, insisting no formal bids had arrived at that time.

With multiple clubs now circling, the Belgian club are said to be holding out for a fee higher than the €20 million they received for Paul Onuachu in 2023.

With Wolves leading negotiations and Arokodare leaning toward England, the Premier League side looks well-placed to secure the Super Eagles forward. Still, with Milan and other suitors lurking, a late twist cannot be ruled out before the transfer deadline.

Unless a rival club moves quickly with a higher bid, Arokodare’s next destination could well be Molineux, with a €20–25 million deal looking increasingly likely.
