Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare has explained why he staged a protest that forced Wolverhampton Wanderers to cancel a pre-season training session amid an ongoing transfer dispute with the club.
The incident occurred on Monday after the 25-year-old reportedly sat on the training pitch and refused to leave, preventing the team from holding its scheduled session.
The protest prompted new head coach Cesar Peixoto to call off training, while extra security was deployed at the club’s Compton Park training ground to stop the Nigerian forward from returning.
Reports indicate that Arokodare had been instructed not to train with Wolves’ first team, despite remaining under contract. The decision reportedly came amid disagreements over his proposed transfer away from the club.
Wolves are said to have accepted an offer from Turkish side Trabzonspor, while Arokodare is believed to favour a move to Italian Serie A outfit Fiorentina.
