Wolverhampton Wanderers are making a major move in the transfer market.
According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the club is in advanced talks to sign Tolu Arokodare from Belgian side Genk.
The forward scored and assisted 30 times in all competitions last season, making him one of the most dangerous attackers in Belgium.
Wolves need fresh attacking options after losing Matheus Cunha to injury.
The club has already brought in Fer Lopez and Jhon Arias, but head coach Vitor Pereira is pushing for more firepower.
With the transfer window close to ending, the pressure to secure new signings is growing.
Newcastle Threat Sparks Urgent Action
One reason for the urgency is the uncertain future of Jorgen Strand Larsen. Newcastle United are set to return with a third bid worth around £60 million for the striker.
If the offer is accepted, Wolves will need a ready replacement.
While Wolves had previously targeted Getafe forward Christantus Uche, talks with the Spanish club have stalled over personal terms. Arokodare has now emerged as a key alternative.
Romano confirmed that discussions are ongoing between Wolves, Genk, and the player’s representatives.

Striker Race Heats Up
Arokodare’s impressive record has caught the attention of several clubs, but Wolves are determined to move fast.
The towering striker is known for his aerial ability, strong hold-up play, and goal-scoring instinct.
His arrival could provide the spark Wolves need to recover from a poor start to the season.
The club has lost both Premier League matches so far, including a heavy 4-0 defeat at home to Manchester City.
The lack of attacking edge has been clear, and Pereira knows reinforcements are vital if the team hopes to avoid a long relegation battle.
With the transfer window set to close soon, fans can expect a dramatic finish.
Wolves want to keep Strand Larsen, but the lure of a massive Newcastle offer could be hard to resist. Signing Arokodare would soften the blow and give the team a proven scorer.
