Nigerian international forward Tolu Arokodare appears to be preparing for a new step as Wolverhampton are ready to bid €25 million for his services, according to HLN.
The 24-year-old, who has been in the waiting room all summer, is now linked with several clubs from England, Germany, and Italy this transfer window. Last week, it was revealed that he was quite high on the lists of Napoli and AC Milan, but they preferred Rasmus Højlund and Conrad Harder, respectively.

It is reported that Wolves intend to make an opening bid for Arokodare. The striker was supposed to start in the second leg of qualification play-offs Europa League against Lech Poznan, but the situation is such that he may not play.
Genk had an asking price of €25 million and are still targeting a similar figure (including bonuses). It is likely that both clubs will reach an agreement.
After a quiet summer of speculation around Tolu Arokodare, the Nigerian striker is back in the headlines. Reports from Italy suggested that Serie A champions Napoli were weighing up a move for the KRC Genk forward.
The interest came on the back of troubling news for the Partenopei. Romelu Lukaku, their big summer signing, has suffered a serious thigh injury that will keep him out for around three months.
