Wolves cancel training after Arokodare’s clash with new manager

Wolverhampton Wanderers were reportedly forced to cancel a training session after Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare became involved in a disagreement with new manager Cesar Peixoto.

According to reports, the incident happened after Arokodare was informed that he would no longer train with the club’s first team.

The 25-year-old striker allegedly refused to leave the training pitch after receiving the instruction, creating a tense situation at the club’s training ground.

Arokodare has been strongly linked with a move away from Wolves this summer, with Italian side Fiorentina and Turkish club Trabzonspor among the teams said to be interested in signing him.

The Nigerian forward is believed to prefer a transfer to Italy as he looks to revive his career.

The striker joined Wolves for around £24 million last summer with high expectations.

However, his first season at the club proved difficult as he managed just three Premier League goals in 33 appearances. Wolves were also relegated from the Premier League after finishing at the bottom of the table, leading to major changes within the squad and coaching staff.

New manager Cesar Peixoto has reportedly decided that Arokodare is not part of his plans for the upcoming Championship campaign. Wolves are aiming for an immediate return to the Premier League and are currently reshaping the squad ahead of the new season.

Reports claim that following Monday’s confrontation, Wolves increased security measures at their Compton Park training facility to prevent further disruption. The club is said to be determined to move the player on before the transfer window closes.

The situation has raised questions about Arokodare’s future, with many expecting his departure to be completed in the coming weeks. A move away from Molineux could provide the striker with a fresh start after a challenging spell in England.

Wolves are preparing for their first public outing under Peixoto when they face Maidenhead United in a pre-season friendly. While the club focuses on building a squad capable of earning promotion back to the Premier League, Arokodare’s future appears increasingly uncertain.

With transfer talks continuing behind the scenes, both Wolves and the Nigerian forward will be hoping for a quick resolution that allows them to move forward ahead of the new season.
