Transfer: Super Eagles Tolu Arokodare told to leave Wolves

Super Eagles forward, Tolu Arokodare, has been advised to begin seeking new opportunities elsewhere following the signing of Mexican striker, Raul Jimenez, by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Chris Gallagher said that the arrival of the North American player could signify the end  of Arokodare’s stay at Wolves.

Arokodare joined Wolverhampton Wanderers after a successful period in Belgium, where he netted 23 goals and provided seven assists in 45 matches across all competitions.

Nevertheless, the Nigerian international was unable to replicate that success in the Premier League, as Wolves faced a disappointing season that culminated in relegation to the Championship.

In his article for Football League World, Gallagher suggested that Arokodare’s difficulties might have arisen from the club’s failure to effectively leverage his strengths, noting that the Super Eagles talent could regain his top form in the Championship.

He said, “It could be argued that Wolves didn’t play to Arokodare’s strengths, and, in the Championship he could be more effective.

“But, with Raul Jimenez joining, the Mexican is certain to be the main number nine. Plus, Sasa Kalajdzic is back at the club, and Peixoto may want to bring in his own players,” he added.
