Wolves may now be on red alert about Crystal Palace’s striker situation following the scenes at full-time on Saturday.
After the Old Gold were handed a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Eagles, the away side’s manager was locked in talks with Tolu Arokodare.
Speaking after the game, Glasner told reporters he would not discuss what was talked about.
Now, after what has come out about Jean-Philippe Mateta’s future at Selhurst Park, those talks may have had some implications for the upcoming months.
How many goals will Tolu Arokodare score across all competitions for Wolves in 2025/26?
Jean-Philippe Mateta’s refusal to sign contract will put Wolves on alert about Tolu Arokodare
News on Monday morning emerged that Jean-Philippe Mateta is open to leaving Crystal Palace.
Reports have originated from journalist Bobby Manzi, who says the French striker is hoping to join a Serie A side at some point in his career, amid disagreements on his salary at the London club.
The timing of the news is interesting, particularly when you consider that odd moment between Oliver Glasner and Tolu Arokodare at full-time on Saturday.
With the pair having no history together, you can only speculate as to the true topic at hand, and that is now surely the future of the Nigerian.
Tolu Arokodare did not score, but he had an eventful game against Crystal Palace
If Crystal Palace are looking for a new striker, they may come in Wolves’ direction, with Tolu offering similar physical traits to the French forward.
And the club might have to brace for talks in the next couple of windows. However, there is always the chance that these two situations are entirely separate, but either way the answer should be no.
It would be silly to part ways with Tolu so soon
It would be idiotic of Wolves to part ways with Tolu Arokodare so soon after signing him.
While he has yet to score in the Premier League, he has shown glimpses of his quality, particularly with his goal against Chelsea.
Tolu Arokodare was confident he would suit the Premier League
The Nigerian looked sharper than he had done all season against the Eagles, and his physical traits were key when defending.
Hopefully there was nothing in those chats with Oliver Glasner because there is a really good striker there, and we suspect it will not be long until Wolves fans see it.
