WolvesNets equalizer off bench
Tolu Arokodare scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Monday's 2-2 draw versus Brentford.
Analysis: Arokodare got an equalizer in the second half to give Wolves a crucial point in the chase to avoid relegation, and he might have to provide a spark against West Ham in a high-stakes match on Friday in the relegation zone. The forward could once again score off the bench as West Ham have given up 55 goals on the year with eight matches left in domestic play.

Analysis: The forward had a goal on his lone shot of the game late to give Wolves a chance to get a point out of this. If he is deployed again on Saturday against Brentford, he has a good chance of scoring against a side which has conceded 24 goals in 15 domestic games.

Signs for Wolves
Tolu has completed a permanent transfer to Wolves from Genk, according to his new club.
Analysis: Tolu is making a huge move in his career at age 24, with the forward joining a top league in Europe after joining Wolves in the Premier League. He is coming off a season in which he won the Belgian Golden Boot, scoring 21 times in league play while showing great signs of attacking promise. He is likely to compete for time immediately in the team as they try to flip their rough start to the season around, especially with Jorgen Strand Larsen seemingly on his way out after asking for a transfer.
