What to expect at Wolves on deadline day
- Published
Wolves are prioritising a striker on transfer deadline day as they close in on Genk forward Tolu Arokodare.
The club has agreed a £24m fee for the 24-year-old, who scored 21 times for Genk last season - the joint top scorer - as they finished third in the Jupiler League.
The Nigeria international will add support to Jorgen Strand Larsen with Wolves looking to have fought off Newcastle's interest, having rejected two bids of £50m and £55m to keep the Norway international at Molineux.
It means striker Sasa Kalajdzic is likely to go out on loan - the striker's three years at Wolves have been wrecked by two serious knee injuries.
Wolves are also targeting central midfield cover but they can only sign homegrown players, with former Burnley captain Josh Brownhill an option, but no move for Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney is planned now.
Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is expected to stay. The England international was signed from Crystal Palace by Gary O'Neil last summer for £10m but lost his place to Jose Sa after just five starts.
He has made just seven Premier League appearances for Wolves and had been exploring his options.
