Tolu Arokodare's summer switch to Ajax on loan from Wolverhampton is already looking like one of the shrewdest moves in European football this season. The Nigerian forward has burst out of the blocks in the Eredivisie, notching seven goals and two assists across all competitions and proving that his struggles in the Premier League were nothing more than a rough patch. With his recent strike in Ajax's 1-1 draw against NEC, Arokodare is clearly settled and hungry to make an impact at one of Holland's biggest clubs.
The 25-year-old has made no bones about his ambitions at Ajax, declaring that the club's target is nothing short of winning everything they enter. Speaking with unwavering confidence, he stressed that every competition—from domestic league play to European tournaments—is approached with championship-level intensity. For bettors tracking Ajax's silverware odds, Arokodare's hunger and current form are encouraging signs: the club sits just five points behind Feyenoord after six league matches, and they haven't claimed the Eredivisie title since 2021-22. Last season they came agonizingly close, finishing second by a single point.
Arokodare has clearly found his feet among the Dutch supporters and teammates, praising the club's style of play and the warmth of the fanbase. His rapid integration at Ajax—drawing comparisons to Romelu Lukaku's own quick impact—suggests he's the real deal. With the Europa Conference League campaign kicking off against Hajduk Split on Thursday, Arokodare will have a chance to prove Ajax can challenge seriously in European competition too. His goalscoring form makes him a player worth monitoring on match day, especially as Ajax chase multiple trophies this term.
