Tolu Arokodare is a player Wolves fans are looking forward to seeing.
The striker was a deadline day signing at Molineux, joining the club for £24 million from Belgian side Genk.
He has been signed to compete and cover for Jorgen Strand Larsen, after some initial fears that he would be a replacement for the Norwegian.
Tolu Arokodare will be tasked with trying to make Wolves more of a threat in the final third, and hopefully it won’t take him too long to make an impact.
Arokodare looks to be in decent shape right now, having scored for Nigeria in their last game against Rwanda.
Tonight, Nigeria are back in action for their second game of the break against South Africa – and one report has some early team news regarding Wolves’ new signing.

Tolu Arokodare set to start for Nigeria against South Africa, and he could play in a two
Arokodare is still building up his fitness at the moment.
But he got the second half against Rwanda – and it seems he’ll now build on that tonight.
Own Goal Nigeria have produced a preview piece ahead of tonight’s game, and they say that Nigeria’s team is likely to look very similar to the team that ended the last game against Rwanda.
The publication says that Arokodare is set to start up top.
So potentially, there could be more for any Wolves fans watching to sink their teeth into tonight.
Should this information prove to be accurate, then it will actually mean a first ever start for Arokodare for his country. It would be his sixth cap in total.

Arokodare could be a real hit for Wolves
It will be interesting to get another glimpse of Arokodare tonight and hopefully he’ll make another big impact for his country.
The idea that he’s set to start is good news for Wolves, as it shows his fitness must be at a decent level.
It is perhaps unlikely he’ll start for Wolves against Newcastle at the weekend.
But he’ll eventually start – and it does feel like he could really do well at Molineux.
Arokodare – who’s already been backed by Steve Bull to shine – is an intimidating presence, and clearly has a great eye for goal given his exploits last season.
There’s potential for him to be a real handful in the Premier League and hopefully we won’t be waiting for too long for him to score his first Wolves goal.
