Previously, sources close to the player’s agency CAA Base Limited confirmed Footy-Africa that the deal would honour a gentleman’s agreement Arokodare had with Genk, allowing him to leave should a club meet their €20–25 million valuation.
Arokodare has been one of Europe’s standout forwards this year, finishing joint-top scorer in the Jupiler Pro League with 21 goals and adding two more in the Belgian Cup.
His 23 goals and six assists in all competitions made him Wolves’ priority target to lead their frontline heading into the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.

Arokodare’s current Transfermarkt value is estimated at €18 million.
