Three Goals in 27 Games — Arokodare Couldn’t Save Wolves From Going Down

Wolves are relegated. And £24 million couldn’t stop it.

West Ham’s goalless draw with Crystal Palace on April 20 confirmed Wolverhampton’s drop from the Premier League — back to the Championship for the first time since 2018. Five games still to play. The maths was already done.

Tolu Arokodare arrived from Genk last summer for big money and big hopes. He delivered three goals in 27 appearances. Not nearly enough to mask a squad that won just three of their first 33 league matches and mustered only 17 points all season.

At 25, his future at Molineux is uncertain. The club that signed him no longer plays in the top flight.
