Goals. Relegation. Uncertainty. It has been a complicated season for Tolu Arokodare.
The Nigerian striker’s future at Wolverhampton Wanderers is now in serious doubt after the club’s relegation from the Premier League. Wolves have stayed silent on Arokodare’s future despite exit rumours swirling around the player, who has attracted significant interest from clubs in England and Europe.
A Season of Two Halves

Arokodare had a strong personal season at Wolves even as the club struggled. The 24-year-old showed the kind of finishing and physical presence that Premier League defenders find difficult to handle. As a result, clubs have been watching his situation closely.
His contract situation remains unclear. Wolves, preparing for Championship football next season, may face a difficult decision — sell at a good price or try to build around him in the second tier. Neither outcome is guaranteed.

Arokodare is one of several Nigerians currently in or around the English top flight. Alongside Zadok Yohanna at Brighton and others dotted across Premier League and Championship clubs, Nigerian forward talent is visible and impactful.
However, none of these players were available for the Super Eagles’ June window due to club commitments. Millwall, for instance, refused to release Femi Azeez for the Poland and Portugal friendlies. That absence has frustrated Nigerians who believe the squad is stronger than recent results suggest.
What Comes Next
For Arokodare, the summer transfer window will be decisive. Several Championship clubs are already reportedly monitoring the situation. Meanwhile, Premier League clubs looking for a striker on a budget may also enter the picture.
He is young, talented, and proven at the top level. Whatever happens at Wolves, Tolu Arokodare’s story in English football is far from over.
