Fenerbahce target Arokodare amid Wolves’ struggles
Turkish giants Fenerbahce are weighing a January move for Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare as the forward continues to grapple with limited opportunities at Wolves.
The Premier League side have endured a dismal campaign, collecting just two points from their opening 11 matches.
Arokodare has been a peripheral figure in the chaos, logging only 223 minutes across seven largely substitute appearances while playing second option to Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Why the Turkish side are circling
Arokodare’s situation contrasts sharply with his prolific spell in Belgium, where he was a consistent starter and regular goalscorer.
The downturn has raised concerns about his satisfaction at Wolves, especially with the club trending toward relegation unless their form shifts dramatically.
Fenerbahce, according to Futbol Arena via Sabah Spor, are prepared to offer the forward a lifeline.
With Anderson Talisca expected to depart at season’s end, the Istanbul club are prioritizing a physically dominant replacement capable of imposing himself in the box, a profile Arokodare fits.
Nigerian strikers have thrived in Turkey in recent years, with Victor Osimhen and Paul Onuachu setting performance benchmarks that have drawn increased local interest in Nigerian forwards.
Deal structure under consideration
Given the potential transfer fee, Fenerbahce are exploring a loan deal with an option to buy. The key variable is whether Wolves, already short on attacking solutions, will sanction a mid-season exit or entertain the financial structure the Turkish side prefer.
