Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare forced the cancellation of a training session after he refused to leave the pitch.<\/b><\/p>\n
BBC Sport has been told the 25-year-old Nigeria international sat down and demanded the club let him move to Fiorentina. <\/p>\n
Wolves have rejected a bid from the Serie A side, having accepted an offer from Turkish club Trabzonspor.<\/p>\n
Arokodare’s actions led to new boss Cesar Peixoto terminating the session on Monday. <\/p>\n
The striker will not be involved in Wednesday’s friendly at Maidenhead United as Wolves continue their pre-season plans.<\/p>\n
On social media on Wednesday evening, Arokodare wrote: “Throughout my career, I have always taken great pride in conducting myself professionally and maintaining the highest training standards.<\/p>\n
“My commitment has always been to prepare myself as well as possible so that I can contribute to my team-mates and the club whenever I am called upon.<\/p>\n
“I remain under contract with Wolves, and my only intention is to fulfil my responsibilities professionally by training, doing my job, and contributing to the team in accordance with that contract.”<\/p>\n
The latest incident is another flashpoint in the forward’s career at Molineux after he was disciplined in April following a confrontation with young forward Mateus Mane.<\/p>\n
Arokodare signed for \u00a324m from Genk last summer but scored just three league goals as Wolves finished bottom of the Premier League and were relegated.<\/p>\n
And the incident presents an early challenge for Peixoto just weeks into his reign after he replaced Rob Edwards in a surprise move last month. <\/p>\n
The 46-year-old, capped once by Portugal in his playing career, moved from Gil Vicente and will be aiming to return Wolves to the Premier League at the first attempt. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
