Premier club Wolves have opened talks with Genk for the signing of Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare.
Wolves have been searching for attacking reinforcements in the past week due to their poor start to the Premier League season. They have lost their first two games of the campaign and failed to score.
Also, they risk losing their top striker Jorgen Strand Larsen to Newcastle United, who are desperately in search of a new striker.
On Sunday, news broke that they were close to signing Christantus Uche from Getafe in a deal worth €20 million. However, the deal did not materialize, as the Super Eagles star turned down their offer.
Now, Wolves are looking elsewhere, and they have to move quickly, as the transfer window is only open for four more days.
Wolves Want Arokodare
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the club have now identified Super Eagles striker Arokodare as a potential target. In fact, they have begun negotiations already, and the deal could be done soon.
The Super Eagles striker is coming off a career-best best campaign with Genk in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, as he contributed 23 goals and seven assists in 45 appearances.
Since the end of last season, it was almost certain that he would exit Genk in this transfer window, but nothing concrete has happened yet, despite links to Manchester United, Benfica, Bayern Munich, and many other clubs.
Arokodare would cost Wolves around €20 million, which is an affordable fee for the club. The Super Eagles star will be hoping that the deal is completed soon, so that he will kake the big switch to the Premier League.
