Wolves have secured the signing of Nigerian international Tolu Arokodare from Genk, penning a four-year deal with an optional 12-month extension
The 24-year-old joins Molineux fresh off winning the Belgian Pro League Golden Boot last season, having scored 21 league goals and 23 in all competitions.
Standing at 6ft 6in, Arokodare began his football journey in Nigeria before moving to Europe in 2019 with Latvian side Valmiera. He impressed immediately, netting 22 goals in 34 appearances at just 18.
He gained further experience in the Bundesliga on loan at FC Köln, and then spent two years in France’s Ligue 2 with Amiens, scoring 21 goals during his loan spell.
Arokodare’s move to Genk came in January 2023. Although the club narrowly missed out on the Belgian Pro League title that season, he made 52 appearances – including seven in European competition – and scored 15 goals. Last season was even more productive, as he notched 23 goals across all competitions and contributed seven assists. His 21 league goals earned him the Golden Boot, edging rivals based on away goals.
Internationally, Arokodare has four caps for Nigeria, scoring his first goal against Russia in June. He also played a key role in Nigeria’s qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations in March.
After making five appearances and scoring once in the new season for Genk, including a goal against Standard Liege, Arokodare now embarks on his first Premier League challenge with Wolves.
