Wolves forced to cancel training after Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare refuses to leave the pitch

Championship side Wolves cancelled their training session on Monday, July 21,  after striker Tolu Arokodare refused to leave the pitch.
The next day, extra security was deployed to ensure that the 25-year-old didn’t return to the club’s training ground, according to Mirror UK.
This comes just weeks into Cesar Peixoto’s reign as manager. The Portuguese was brought in to replace Rob Edwards, who was sacked after Wolves were relegated from the Premier League by finishing rock bottom of the table.
Arokodare, who scored just six goals in 38 games, was part of the squad responsible for Wolves’ dismal season and had been linked with a move away.
The striker has been linked with Fiorentina and Trabzonspor this month as the club seeks to offload the 25-year-old, who is said to favour a move to Italy this summer.
Wolves signed Arokodare for around £24M last summer, but after he scored just three Premier League goals in 33 appearances, he is expected to depart the side, who do not see him in their plans next season.
The Championship side who finished dead bottom of the Premier League last season, make their first public appearance under new manager César Peixoto when they face Maidenhead United on Wednesday night.
