Fiorentina, Genoa Also Interested
Arokodare has also attracted interest from Serie A sides Fiorentina and Genoa in recent weeks, but Ajax have now emerged as the frontrunners for his signature.
The 25-year-old joined Wolves from Belgian Pro League side KRC Genk last summer and made 33 Premier League appearances in his debut campaign, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
A move to Ajax would hand Arokodare the opportunity for more regular first-team football as the Eredivisie champions strengthen their squad for the new season.
