Tolu Arokodare in Wolverhampton Wanderers kit during Premier League match
Wolverhampton Wanderers may be sitting rock-bottom of the Premier League table, but new head coach Rob Edwards has already spotted a bright spark — and his name is Tolu Arokodare.
In a season where nothing seems to click for Wolves, the arrival of Edwards has brought immediate tactical freshness. One standout decision from his debut match? Pairing Tolu Arokodare with Jørgen Strand Larsen up front.
The goals didn’t come — but the promise did.
Even in a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, Arokodare turned heads with his work rate, physicality, and willingness to battle for every ball. Edwards didn’t hesitate to make that admiration public:
“Tolu’s done really well this week for us… I thought he worked extremely hard today. We’ll get more from him the fitter he gets.”
That’s high praise for a striker still adapting to the pace and power of the Premier League. And if the coach’s words are anything to go by, Wolves fans should expect to see much more of their Nigerian forward.
Edwards also hinted that the Arokodare–Larsen combo could become a Premier League nightmare for defenders:
“If we can get them right at it, you wouldn’t want to play against those two.”
Imagine facing two towering, aggressive, tireless forwards at once. Premier League centre-backs, brace yourselves.
Despite Wolves enduring the worst start in Premier League history — just two points from 12 matches — Arokodare isn’t panicking. In fact, his message is simple:
“We just have to stay confident, stay positive and keep working.”
And honestly? That attitude alone is a win.
