Tolu Arokodare has expressed interest in a permanent Ajax move after an impressive loan spell, scoring and assisting in the win over Atalanta
Nigeria international Tolu Arokodare has expressed his desire to remain at Ajax beyond his current loan spell, saying he has quickly developed a strong affection for the Dutch club following an impressive start to the season.
The 24-year-old striker joined the Eredivisie side from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer and has made an encouraging impact at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Arokodare continued his fine form on Thursday night, scoring a goal and providing an assist as Ajax secured a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Europa Conference League, according to reports.
The forward has registered eight goals and three assists in 13 appearances across all competitions this season, underlining his growing importance to the Amsterdam-based club.
Speaking to reporters after the victory, Arokodare said he would welcome the opportunity to make his stay at Ajax permanent, although the final decision rests with both clubs.
“It is between Ajax and Wolves. I like it here; I love it here. The people are amazing, the fans are amazing, the team is amazing, the club is amazing,” he said.
His comments suggest that the striker is open to extending his stay in the Netherlands, provided Ajax and Wolves reach an agreement.
With his goal contributions continuing to mount, Arokodare will hope to maintain his form and strengthen his case for a permanent transfer as the season progresses.
