Fenerbahce Eye January Move for Wolves Striker Tolu Arokodare Amid Limited Playing Time
Turkish Super Lig giants Fenerbahce are reportedly preparing a January move for Tolu Arokodare, who joined Wolverhampton Wanderers just this summer from Belgian side KRC Genk.
The 24-year-old Nigerian striker has struggled to secure regular minutes in the Premier League, making seven league appearances, most of them from the bench, as he continues to play behind first-choice striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.
However, Arokodare has shown glimpses of promise, scoring two goals in two Carabao Cup appearances, highlighting his potential when given time on the pitch.
According to Turkish outlets Futbol Arena and Sabah Spor, Fenerbahce are monitoring the situation closely and could swoop in for the striker once the January transfer window opens.
Opinion: Arokodare’s January Exit Could Be the Best Move for His Career
Arokodare’s situation at Wolves reflects a familiar challenge for many young forwards transitioning into the Premier League: talent isn’t always enough — timing, fit, and opportunity matter just as much.
Despite his impressive flashes in cup competitions, sitting behind a settled first choice has clearly limited his growth. And for a striker, rhythm and confidence are everything.
A move to Fenerbahce could offer:
Regular playing time
A passionate football culture
A club known for giving forwards the freedom to express themselves
A chance to rebuild momentum before the next AFCON qualifiers
For Arokodare, this isn’t just about leaving Wolves — it’s about choosing a pathway that accelerates his development, rather than stalling it.
And for Fenerbahce, securing a hungry, athletic striker with something to prove might be the kind of signing that turns into a masterstroke.
January may well be the turning point — both for the player and the clubs involved.
