POLICY WIRE — London, UK — Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Tolu Arokodare has addressed recent allegations that he forced the cancellation of a training session in an attempt to push through a transfer to Italian club Fiorentina.

Reports surfaced indicating that Arokodare’s actions led to the abrupt end of a training session, sparking speculation about his future at the club. The Nigerian forward has since issued a statement clarifying his position.

“I want to address the recent reports regarding my conduct during training. It’s unfortunate that my actions have been misconstrued. My sole intention was to express my desire to explore new opportunities, but I never intended to disrupt team activities,” Arokodare said.

The striker’s agent also released a statement, emphasizing that Arokodare’s actions were not meant to cause any inconvenience. “Tolu is committed to giving his best for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Any suggestion that he deliberately disrupted training is unfounded,” the agent said.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident. The club is currently evaluating the situation — and is expected to provide further details in the coming days.

Arokodare joined Wolves in 2021 and has made several appearances for the club, contributing to their Premier League campaigns. His potential move to Fiorentina has been a topic of discussion among football fans — and analysts.
