Dutch club Ajax is finalizing an agreement to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Tolu Arokodare on a loan deal with an option to buy, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The purchase option in the agreement exceeds 20 million euros, with additional reports specifying the fee at 22 million euros including the loan fee.

Ajax will also cover the 25-year-old Nigerian forward's full salary during the loan period and pay bonuses if the team qualifies for European competition.
The move comes shortly after Arokodare was involved in a disciplinary incident at Wolverhampton Wanderers' training facility, Compton Park.
New Wolves manager Cesar Peixoto informed the striker that he was temporarily excluded from first-team training while his future was reviewed.
Arokodare reportedly refused to leave the pitch following the instruction, resulting in a standoff that led to the cancellation of the team's practice session.
Security personnel were deployed at the training ground the following day to prevent the forward from attending sessions with the main squad.

The incident follows a previous internal disciplinary matter last season involving an altercation with an 18-year-old teammate, Mateus Mane, in the locker room after a 4-0 defeat against West Ham United.
Transfer Background
Wolverhampton Wanderers originally signed Arokodare from Belgian side KRC Genk for 26 million euros.
During his recent season in England, the 1.97-meter striker made 36 appearances and scored six goals across all competitions, including Premier League strikes against Arsenal, Chelsea, and Brentford, but was unable to prevent the club's relegation to the Championship.
Ajax's pursuit of Arokodare follows their recent acquisition of Brazilian forward Marcos Leonardo from Al-Hilal for nearly 20 million euros.
