Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare has found himself at the centre of a fresh controversy at Wolverhampton Wanderers, following reports that he disrupted a training session after a disagreement with the club’s coaching staff.
According to Wolves correspondent Nathan Judah, training at the club’s Compton Park base was cancelled after Arokodare allegedly refused to leave the pitch when instructed not to train with the first team. In a post on X on Tuesday, Judah stated: “EXCL🚨: Understand Wolves training was cancelled yesterday following Tolu Arokodare’s refusal to leave the pitch when asked not to train with the squad. Cesar Peixoto seemingly not tolerating ‘player power’ & poor discipline levels.”
Extra security was enforced at Compton Park to ensure he was not at the training ground, and Arokodare will not be part of the squad travelling to face Maidenhead United. Neither Wolves nor Arokodare had commented on the reports at the time of filing.
The alleged fallout adds to growing uncertainty regarding the Nigerian forward’s future at Molineux. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that Serie A side Fiorentina has submitted a proposal worth approximately ₦40.64 billion (£22 million), structured as an initial loan with an option or obligation to buy. The 25-year-old has also been linked with clubs in Belgium, France, and Turkey, although no agreement has been announced.
