Wolves Boss Backs Arokodare to Shine Despite Slow Premier League Start

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Rob Edwards has expressed strong confidence in Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare, insisting the forward will soon find his rhythm at Molineux.

Arokodare joined Wolves in the summer from Belgian side KRC Genk but has endured a quiet start to life in the Premier League, making eight league appearances without a goal contribution. However, the 25-year-old has shown glimpses of promise in the Carabao Cup, where he has already scored twice.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Edwards praised Arokodare’s work ethic and progress in training.

“Tolu’s done really well this week for us, and I’ve liked him, and I thought he worked extremely hard today. We’ll get more from him the fitter he gets,” the Wolves boss said.

The club remains patient as the striker adapts to the demands of English football—a league known for its intensity, physicality, and unforgiving pace.

💬 Opinion — Why Wolves Should Hold Their Nerve on Arokodare

Arokodare’s situation is not unusual—many talented forwards need time to transition from European leagues into the Premier League battlefield. Goals may not have arrived yet, but his movement, pressing, and willingness to learn already signal potential.

For Wolves, the real victory lies in nurturing his confidence rather than rushing judgment. And for Arokodare, the support of his manager could be the spark that unlocks his best form.

Football careers often change with one goal—one moment. If Wolves stay patient, Arokodare might just repay the faith with more than expected.
