The summer after relegation can always be tumultuous, but Wolves’ off-season has been particularly chaotic in preparation for their return to the Championship.

The Old Gold started the summer on the right foot with the free agent signings of Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez, two veterans who can still compete at Premier League level. They then fired Rob Edwards, unbeknownst to him, in favour of Cesar Peixoto.

Now, the new Portuguese manager must oversee a lot of player movement this summer, as some players will want to continue their careers at the top level and will look to leave Molineux.

According to sources, frontman Tolu Arokodare is eager to move on ahead of the new Championship season, one year after signing a £24 million deal from Genk, where he was the Belgian Pro League top scorer in 2024/25.

Fiorentina appear to be the 25-year-old’s favourite destination, but Wolves have accepted a bid from Trabzonspor, rejecting the Serie A club, resulting in a training field brawl on Monday.

Tolu Arokodare answers to the “inaccurate” training ground reports.

According to reports on Wednesday, Arokodare forced Cesar Peixoto to cancel Wolves’ training session on Monday because he refused to leave the pitch. According to the BBC, he sat down and asked that the club let him transfer to Fiorentina.

It’s precisely the confrontation that new manager Peixoto will not want to face, weeks into his first pre-season at his new club, as he attempts to navigate what promises to be a busy summer of player movement.

This isn’t the first incident in Arokodare’s brief Wolves tenure; he was disciplined following a 4-0 loss to West Ham in April, a week before their relegation to the second division was confirmed.

However, the 25-year-old has responded to these allegations on X, branding them “inaccurate,” and reinforcing his allegiance to Wolves while still under contract.”I was very surprised and disappointed to see the media reports today, many of which are inaccurate,” he stated. “Throughout my career,

I have always taken great pride in conducting myself professionally and maintaining the highest training standards. “I prioritise self-preparation to support my teammates and the club when needed.I am still under contract with Wolves, and my only intention is to fulfil my professional responsibilities by training, performing my duties, and contributing to the team in accordance with that contract.”

Wolves fans reacted to Tolu Arokodare’s response to the training field news.

Last season, Wolves had little positives, and Arokodare’s performances were no exception.

The £24 million signing scored just three goals in 33 Premier League games, joining Paul Onuachu and Denis Undav as past Belgian Pro League Golden Boot winners who have failed in the Premier League recently.

Wolves fans, on the other hand, were particularly disappointed by Arokodare’s lack of effort while the team was floundering under Vitor Pereira and Rob Edwards, and responded to his tweets with sneaky comments.

In response to @TalkingWolves’ tweets about X, one Wolves fan wrote, “I heard he sat in the centre circle and refused to move. To be honest, it reminded me of last season. “Taking great pride in my professionalism is doing some heavy lifting there after he tried to scrap Mane last season,” another commented.

The majority of responses suggested that this was simply agent talk to maintain a positive public image and prevent interested clubs from dropping their pursuit after the initial reports.Just PR things to help him get his move back on, I’d assume,” one admirer surmised.”Great words from Tolu Arokodare’s agent, tbf,” another added.

Finally, the bulk of Wolves fans can’t wait to see the Nigerian international leave the club.

Fans are ready for the Old Gold to move on with striker options like Jimenez and Adam Armstrong next season after a catastrophic year on and off the field.Mate, the best solution for both parties is to separate ways. This way, there will be no more drama,” a fan added, while another simply commented, “Just get him out as soon as possible.”
