Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare has struggled for game time at Wolves this season, but could see his fortunes change.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have accepted a bid from Crystal Palace for striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, in a deal worth a guaranteed £43 million plus a further £5 million in add-ons.
The Norway international is expected to undergo a medical at Selhurst Park on Sunday, marking a significant profit for the Old Gold on a player they signed permanently just last summer.
The departure of Strand Larsen, who has struggled for form this season with only one Premier League goal, represents a major shift in Rob Edwards’ attacking hierarchy.
While Wolves have already submitted a proposal for Southampton’s Adam Armstrong as a potential replacement, the vacancy left by the 6ft 4in Norwegian provides a massive opportunity for the squad's remaining talent.

Tolu Arokodare to get more game time?
The Nigerian powerhouse arrived at Molineux from Genk last September in a £23.4 million deal, but has largely spent his debut season playing second fiddle to Strand Larsen.
Despite limited starts, Arokodare has still managed to find the net four times this campaign, including a crucial goal that recently opened his Premier League account.
With Strand Larsen moving to London, Arokodare is now the primary focal point of the Wolves attack.
The club notably rejected a €15 million bid from Besiktas for the 25-year-old, signaling their intent to keep the "Super Eagle" as a central pillar of their fight for Premier League survival.
For Arokodare, the final months of the 2026 season now offer the consistent game time he needs to prove he can thrive as a leading man in England.
