Wolverhampton Wanderers of England striker, Tolu Arokodare has been cited among a litany of summer arrivals who have disappointed egg heads of the English Premier League club.
Sports247 reports that Arokodare and other new arrivals have come under scrutiny, as Wolves continue hogging last spot on the EPL table from the very first weekend of the current season.

The Molineux outfit also have only two points to show and without a single victory on their cards, thereby leaving room for poignant questions being asked by critical fans and independent observers.
Tolu Arokodare, who has been dropped from the Super Eagles’ squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, has scored two goals in the Carabao Cup but is yet to find his range in the EPL.
This is in contrast with his top scoring form during his days with RKC Genk of Belgium, which has added to worrying thoughts on the mind of Wolves’ technical director, Matt Jackson.
The straggling club’s technical buff pointed out that the crew moved for new players based on their ratings with previous clubs, but admitted that their intentions have failed to materialize as expected.
Arokodare was signed alongside five other players – Fer Lopez, Jhon Arias, David Moller Wolfe, Jackson Tchatchoua and Ladislav Krejci – but an insinuation has emerged that they are all struggling because they arrived without any previous experience in the EPL.
Jackson appeared to admit this, as he said on BBC Radio WM: “The players who were brought in were brought in for the right reasons, but when you have a return of two points at this stage you have to say it’s wrong.
“Whatever starting 11 we have put out has not been good enough. We have a great belief in those players developing. The ability and will to improve has been excellent – but you want immediate returns.”
