Vítor Pereira Never Wanted Arokodare at Wolves

Fresh claims have emerged that underline the chaos behind Wolves’ disastrous 2025 summer recruitment.

According to reports, former manager Vítor Pereira was clear with the hierarchy that he did not want striker Tolu Arokodare, yet the club pressed ahead with the deal.

Arokodare arrived on deadline day for £25 million, but his signing has since proven costly.

The Nigerian forward has struggled to make an impact and was recently involved in a bust-up with teammate Mateus Mane, leading to disciplinary action.

He is now expected to leave in the summer.

The revelations highlight the dysfunction in Wolves’ transfer strategy.

Pereira, alongside then-director of professional football Domenico Teti, had to sign off on players despite warning the club to act urgently in the market.

Reports suggest Pereira even considered walking away before the season began due to recruitment frustrations.

With Wolves now relegated, the Arokodare saga stands as a symbol of mismanagement that left the squad underprepared and ultimately doomed their Premier League campaign.
