Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare ignited controversy by forcing the cancellation of a training session after he refused to leave the pitch. The 25-year-old Nigeria international sat down and demanded a transfer to Fiorentina, leading to the session's abrupt termination by new manager Cesar Peixoto on Monday.

Wolves have already rejected a bid from the Serie A side, having accepted a different offer from Trabzonspor in Turkey. This incident highlights ongoing tensions in Arokodare's career at Molineux, following a disciplinary action in April after a confrontation with teammate Mateus Mane.

Arokodare, who joined Wolves for £24m from Genk last summer, has struggled to make an impact, scoring only three league goals as the team finished at the bottom of the Premier League, resulting in relegation.

This incident poses an early challenge for Peixoto, who took over from Rob Edwards in a surprising managerial change last month. The 46-year-old, who has one cap for Portugal, aims to guide Wolves back to the Premier League at the first opportunity. Arokodare will not participate in the upcoming friendly against Maidenhead United as Wolves continue their pre-season preparations.
