Wolverhampton Wanderers' signing of Tolu Arokodare from Genk for €26 million has been described as regrettable by a club insider. The Nigerian striker joined Wolves after a standout season in Belgium, where he scored 23 goals and provided seven assists in 45 appearances. However, his move to the Premier League has failed to deliver, with Arokodare managing just six goals and two assists in 33 appearances, most as a substitute. Former Wolves coach Vitor Pereira did not want the signing, according to Molineux News, but was overruled by sporting director Domenico Teti. This reportedly contributed to Arokodare's lack of consistent playing time. Wolves' season ended in relegation from the Premier League with five games remaining, ending their eight-year stay in the top flight. Despite limited opportunities, Arokodare's performance has drawn interest from Turkish Süper Lig clubs Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Galatasaray.
