Olu breaks down Tolu Arokodare’s imminent move from Genk to Wolves. He reviews the striker’s career so far, his playing style, and what Wolves fans can expect from him in the Premier League. With his impressive form in Belgium and a growing reputation in Nigerian football for the Super Eagles, could Arokodare be a hidden gem for Wolves this season?

With Nigeria’s chances of qualifying hanging in the balance, could this be the squad that finally turns things around, or are there still concerns in the selection?Olu also reacts to the improved squad announcement graphics, questions why there was an initial provisional list instead of going straight to a final list, and emphasises the need for press conferences where the coach can explain his decisions.
