AMSTERDAM, July ⁠29 (Reuters) - Ajax Amsterdam have signed ⁠striker Tolu Arokodare on a one-season ‌loan deal from Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Dutch club said on Wednesday.

The loan agreement for ​the 25-year-old Nigerian international ⁠includes an option ⁠to buy for Ajax at the ⁠end of ‌the campaign.

Arokodare has played in Latvia, Germany, and ⁠Belgium, where he was top scorer ​in ‌the 2024-25 season, prompting a move ⁠from Racing ​Genk to Wolves.

He was used mainly off the bench in the ⁠Premier League last season as ​Wolves were relegated but did score six goals in league and cup ⁠competitions.

Ajax have begun their new season in the Conference League where they host Vojvodina in the second ​qualifying round, second leg ⁠in Amsterdam on Thursday, leading 4-1 ​from the game ‌in Serbia last week.
