Ajax will cover Tolu Arokodare's full wages and pay Wolves a £1 million loan fee, with a permanent move possible for about £17 million next summer.
- Ajax signed Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare on a season-long loan from Wolves on Wednesday, with the Eredivisie club retaining an option to make the deal permanent for around £17 million next summer.

- Ajax finished fifth in The Eredivisie last season and will compete in the Europa League Conference, with the deal including further bonuses for Wolves based on European qualification.
