Tolu Arokorade Makes PL Debut In Wolves Narrow Loss To Newcastle

Nigerian and former Genk striker Tolu Arokodare has made his Premier League debut against Newcastle. The 24-year-old, who transferred to Wolverhampton from Genk for about £25m just before the international break, started the game after returning from Nigeria, where he was a substitute in both international matches. He played 60 minutes before being subbed off.

Though he neither scored nor assisted, Tolu had an impressive outing for Wolves despite the loss of all three points. According to SofaScore, he completed 5 out of 7 passes, won 4 ground duels out of 10, and won 2 aerial duels. The former Ebony Shoe winner and Belgian Pro League top scorer has arrived as Wolves’ new talisman.

Let’s go, Tolu. Remember—it’s TEA time!
