Wolves Cancel Training After Arokodare Refuses Leave
Wolves’ pre-season training was cancelled after striker Tolu Arokodare refused to leave the pitch when asked to train with the squad, with new manager Cesar Peixoto showing a hardline stance on discipline. Extra security was deployed to prevent Arokodare from returning to the training ground, and he will not travel with the team to the Maidenhead United friendly, fueling ongoing transfer uncertainty. Peixoto has signaled a no-tolerance approach to “player power” as the club seeks to rebuild after relegation, while discussions over Arokodare’s future continue amid reported interest from Fiorentina and other clubs. The incident follows a pattern of disciplinary concerns surrounding the Nigerian forward, who arrived for a large fee but failed to live up to expectations, prompting talk of a move away and a broader restructuring under Peixoto. Analysts and fans have debated ownership influence versus managerial authority in shaping Wolves’ direction, with the overarching narrative focused on restoring discipline and returning the club to form.
