Chaos at Wolves training pushes Ajax target Arokodare into spotlight
Arokodare appears poised to leave Wolverhampton Wanderers after a training‑ground incident that saw the session cancelled, with Ajax named as a potential destination by Matteo Moretto. The 25‑year‑old striker, linked with the Dutch champions, is at the centre of a developing saga that could see him exit the English club.
Vandaag at 13:56 an update confirmed that Arokodare seems headed for a departure from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The report noted the striker's possible exit following the incident that disrupted the training schedule.
Engelse media reported that the striker, cited by Matteo Moretto as an Ajax target, was involved in an incident on the training complex, prompting the session to be called off. The disruption highlighted concerns over his discipline.
Matteo Moretto will go public on Wednesday with news that Ajax are interested in Arokodare, the 25‑year‑old Wolves forward. The Dutch club’s interest adds a new dimension to the ongoing transfer speculation.
The Nigeriaanse attacker arrived last year for €26 million from KRC Genk. That previous move underscores his market value and the financial stakes involved.
According to journalist Nathan Judah, new Wolves coach Cesar Peixoto asked Arokodare not to train with the first‑team squad while his future was being assessed. The striker allegedly refused to leave the training field, leading Peixoto to cancel the session and stress that there is no tolerance for a lack of discipline.
The club has deployed extra security at the Compton Park training complex to prevent Arokodare from rejoining the first‑team group. He has also been omitted from the squad for the upcoming friendly against Maidenhead United and will not complete the remaining preparation with the senior squad.
The transfer now appears increasingly likely. Moretto named Ajax as one of the possible next destinations, a notable development given that Ajax spent nearly €20 million to acquire striker Marcos Leonardo from Al Hilal only last week.
