Per Turkish source Takagazete, Trabzonspor and Wolves are nearing the conclusion of their discussions, with the Premier League side requiring that the Black Sea Storm covers the striker’s complete annual salary of €3.7 million as part of the deal.
Trabzonspor has intensified their search for a new central forward following Felipe Augusto’s move to Russian club Zenit St. Petersburg.

The club is also dealing with uncertainty regarding the future of fellow Nigerian international Paul Onuachu, who has been heavily linked to a transfer to Saudi Pro League powerhouse Al Ahli after finishing as the joint-top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig last season.
Arokodare is anticipated to arrive in Turkey on Monday to finalize the transfer process, assuming all remaining details are settled.
The 25-year-old joined Wolves from Belgian Pro League side KRC Genk last summer, making 33 league appearances for the Old Gold, netting three goals and contributing one assist.
