£23m Premier League star set to leave after being aggressor in dressing room bust-up

Tolu Arokodare is expected to leave Wolves this summer after a dressing room bust-up, talkSPORT understands.

The striker clashed with teammate Mateus Mane following their side’s defeat to West Ham earlier this month.

Arokodare was the sole aggressor in the bust-up, which took place following the match.

Wolves were thrashed 4-0 at the London Stadium on April 10 to accelerate their inevitable Premier League relegation.

Arokodare made a 19-minute cameo off the bench during the defeat.

He was then an unused substitute as Wolves were beaten 3-0 by Leeds United on Saturday.

His time at Molineux now appears to be up despite having four years left on his contract.

The 25-year-old was signed from Belgian club Genk last summer in a deal worth £23million.

Upon his arrival, he penned a contract through to the summer of 2029, with the option of a further year.

Club sources have told talkSPORT that the matter has been dealt with following Arokodare’s clash with Mane.

He was joined on the bench by Mane at Elland Road, with the teenager replacing Angel Gomes during the first half.

Arokodare has scored three goals in 28 Premier League appearances for Wolves this season.

The last of those strikes came in their 2-2 draw with Brentford on March 16.

However, it appears the Nigeria international will not be part of the Wolves squad in the Championship next season.

Wolves on the brink

Rob Edwards’ side are on the brink of relegation following back-to-back defeats.

Wolves are 15 points from safety with just five matches remaining this season.

Their relegation will be confirmed on Monday night if West Ham avoid defeat against Crystal Palace.

It would end the club’s eight-year stay in the top-flight following promotion back in 2018.

During that time, they have twice finished seventh as well as reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League during the 2019/20 season.

Wolves host Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland in their next two matches before travelling to Brighton on May 9.

Their final home fixture of the season comes against Fulham eight days later.

They then conclude the campaign away to relegation rivals Burnley on Sunday, May 24.
