Wolves’ next signing Tolu Arokodare says goodbye to Genk fans as he prepares to take ‘next step’
As the clock ticks on, Wolves fans are waiting for some good news.
Well, Arokodare’s Instagram post this morning certainly provides encouragement.
He writes: “After two years with this club and amazing fans, it’s time for me to take the next step in my career.”
The 6’6″ striker is leaving Genk on good terms after three seasons, leaving little doubt about where he is headed next.
He continues: “I leave proud to have played for this badge and wish the club nothing but success in the future. Thank you for every moment in blue.”
The arrival of Tolu Arokodare will spell the end for another Wolves striker
Wolves need to abide by the Premier League’s homegrown rules, which means Arokodare’s arrival will force a sale.
The two most likely departures are Sasa Kalajdzic, who has been linked with a loan move, and Hwang Hee-chan, who is attracting interest from Europe.
The news of Arokodare’s farewell is no surprise, but it is good to get fresh confirmation.
Now, attention needs to turn to a new midfield addition with just a few hours left in the window.
