Tolu Arokodare Set For Wolves Premier League Debut Against Newcastle United
Super Eagles Striker Tolu Arokodare Is Poised To Make An Immediate Impact At Wolves As He Eyes A Potential Premier League Debut Against Newcastle United. The 24-Year-Old Nigerian Forward Recently Joined Wolves From Belgian Side Genk For Around £24 Million (€27 Million), Highlighting His Status As One Of The Top New Signings Poised To Turn Around Clubs’ Slow Starts This Season.
Both Wolves And Newcastle Have Yet To Register A Premier League Win In The Current Campaign, Struggling To Create Scoring Opportunities And Failing To Find The Net In Two Of Their Three Matches. Pressure Is Mounting On New No. 9 Signings, Including Arokodare At Wolves, As Well As Yoane Wissa And Nick Woltemade At Newcastle, To Spark Their Teams’ Attacking Revival.
Arokodare Impressed Last Season In Belgium’s Pro League, Finishing As Joint Top Scorer With 21 Goals, Although He Slightly Underperformed His Expected Goals Metric By 7.6 According To Premier League Data.
Despite Competition From Jorgen Strand Larsen, Who Remains Part Of Wolves’ Squad After The Transfer Deadline But Is Doubtful For The Game, Arokodare, Fresh From Saving Nigeria’s Blushes In A FIFA World Cup Qualifier, Is Expected To Contribute Whether Starting Or Coming Off The Bench.
His Four-Year Contract, With An Option For An Additional Year, Reflects Wolves’ Faith In His Ability To Strengthen Their Front Line. As Wolves Prepare To Face Newcastle In The Battle Of New Strikers, Arokodare’s Premier League Debut Could Mark The Start Of A Vital New Chapter For Both The Forward And The Club’s Quest For Early-Season Momentum.
