Arokodare eager to put Wolves misery behind him
Tolu Arokodare is joining an Ajax side that is seeking a fresh start after finishing fifth in the Eredivisie last season.
The Amsterdam giants have appointed Spanish tactician Michel to lead them into a new era.
Arokodare spent the 2025-26 season with Wolves in the Premier League, having joined from KRC Genk last summer.
The 25-year-old scored just six goals in 38 appearances across all competitions last term.
The striker had a publicised training ground spat with new Wolves manager Cesar Peixoto , accelerating his exit this summer.

Arokodare will join Marcos Leonardo as the Dutch club's new strikers for the 2026-27 campaign, with Wout Weghorst having left the club for FC Twente.
Arokodare is the first Nigerian to represent the Dutch giants since defender Calvin Bassey in 2023.
He is a penalty box expert, with his height and movement making him a dangerous proposition.
Arokodare will add a significant goal threat to Ajax as they look to bounce back from a disappointing season.
