Genoa have officially entered the race to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Tolu Arokodare, positioning themselves as a fresh contender for the 25-year-old Nigerian forward. The Rossoblù are actively seeking reinforcements for their attacking line and have identified the player as a primary target to bolster their squad.

According to FirenzeViola.it, citing transfer influencer Fabrizio Romano, the Rossoblù have entered the competition for Arokodare after Fiorentina previously explored a move for the striker. The Viola were reportedly nearing a move for the striker but ultimately abandoned their pursuit after utilizing their final non-EU squad registration slot on Oulai. With Fiorentina out of the picture, Genoa are now looking to capitalize on the opportunity to secure the forward.

Competition for the striker remains significant, as Ajax has been tracking Arokodare's progress for some time. The Dutch club is reportedly impressed by his physical presence and overall attacking attributes, leading to continued monitoring of his situation. Genoa may need to accelerate their efforts if they hope to outperform Ajax in the race for his signature.

The player's future at Wolves remains uncertain after reports of tension between the player and the club, including claims he has not been training with the first-team squad. As several clubs continue to monitor these developments, his eventual departure from the English side appears increasingly likely.
