As Wolverhampton Wanderers gear up to host Arsenal in a crucial English Premier League clash on matchday 27, Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare is setting his sights firmly on one objective – finding the back of the net against the league leaders again.
The showdown at the Molineux presents a daunting task for Wolves, who currently sit bottom of the Premier League table. With just 9 points from 26 matches – one win, six draws, and 19 defeats – Wolves have endured a difficult campaign, scoring only 16 goals while conceding 48. Survival hopes are fading, but belief within the squad remains alive.
For Arokodare, this fixture carries personal motivation. The Nigerian striker has managed two goals in 22 league appearances this season and remains one of the few attacking bright spots in an otherwise challenging campaign. He netted in Wolves’ 3–1 home defeat to Chelsea earlier in the season and also found the scoresheet in a Carabao Cup victory over Everton.
Notably, Arokodare already has history against Arsenal this season. In December 2025 at the Emirates Stadium, he struck deep into injury time to level the score in dramatic fashion before an unfortunate own goal handed Arsenal a narrow 2–1 victory.

Now, as Arsenal arrive top of the table and chasing another crucial three points in their title charge, Arokodare is targeting another decisive contribution. His physical presence, aerial ability, and direct running could pose a test for one of the league’s strongest defensive units.
With Wolves battling relegation and Arsenal pushing for the crown, the stage is set for a classic underdog encounter – and Arokodare will be determined to make his mark once again, this time aiming to turn promise into a match-defining goal against the Premier League leaders.
