Three-time English Premier League winners Wolverhampton Wanderers have declined a €15m offer for Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare, Soccernet.ng reports.
Tammy Abraham cut his loan spell short with Besiktas after an offer from Aston Villa came in. The decision left the Turkish side short in attack, hence their interest in Tolu Arokodare.
The Nigerian only just moved to the Molineux in August, and could be on the move as the winter transfer window rounds up.

Besiktas: Wolves turn down Arokodare bid from Turkish giants
After Tammy Abraham’s transfer to Aston Villa, Sergen Yalçın has only El-Bilal Toure left in the striker position. The 53-year-old coach prefers to field the Malian star on the left wing and wants a clear number 9 transfer from the management.
According to Fanatik, the eleven-time Turkish Champions are in talks with Wolverhampton Wanderers over a deal for their striker Tolu Arokodare, offering 15 million euros.
Besiktas’ offer was declined, with Wolves looking for at least double of what Wilfred Ndidi’s side submitted.
Rob Edwards’ side splashed €26m to secure Arokodare’s services from KRC Genk last summer, and are not prepared to take any losses this soon.
Additionally, Jorge Strand-Larsen just completed a €50m move to Crystal Palace. This means Tolu can finally get more playing time under his belt, and the club will not want to lose another attacker in their fight for safety, although it is very unlikely they’ll survive the battle.
Whether or not the Super Eagles striker is keen on the move is currently unknown, but playing for a top-flight Turkish team might be more appealing than Championship football ahead of next season.
