'I am strong and fast' — Super Eagles star Arokodare ready to fire Wolves to success after £24 million move

Arokodare has expressed his readiness to take on the Premier League's physical challenge after completing a £24 million move to Wolves on transfer deadline day.

The 24-year-old striker joins the Molineux club on a four-year contract, with an option for a further year, after successfully passing his medical. He arrives with a reputation as a prolific goalscorer, having won the Golden Boot in Belgium last season.

Wolves fans will be hoping his impressive record can help their team turn their fortunes around after a difficult start to the season, which has seen them lose their first three games.

Speaking on his transfer, the 6-foot-6 forward said, "It feels amazing. It did take a while, but I'm here finally, and I'm happy to be here. I didn't need convincing.

"I know the history of the club and the players that have been here and how they've progressed to become better players."

On his suitability for the English top flight, Arokodare was confident. "I think I'll fit in pretty good. The Premier League is a league full of physicality, high intensity, a lot of runs, and I think I'm that kind of player.

"I think I'm strong, I'm fast. Obviously, the first few games and weeks won’t be the easiest, but it's a challenge that I think I'm ready for, and I think I'll fit in pretty good."

Arokodare can hope to make his debut as Wolves face Newcastle after the international break.
