“It feels amazing. It did take a while, but I’m here finally, and I’m happy to be here,” Tolu excitedly stated in his first media duties after signing his contracts.

“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. I like the project of the club, and that’s what I want for myself. I want to improve and I want to progress, and help this team.

“I think I’ll fit in pretty good. If you, for example, look at the strikers that we have now, we’re almost the same profile, so it won’t be difficult for me to adapt. You could see how good [Jorgen Strand] Larsen did last season, and I’m just here to help the team.”

Moving to the EPL and his adaptability, Tolu Arokodare ready to hit it off

With Experience in Germany, France, and most recently in Belgium where he had a prolific run during his two year stint, he conceded that although the league his tough, he’s ready to match the intensity.

“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.

“It was time already. I had my mind set here, this is where I wanted to be, because I played in Germany, France, Belgium, and I think it was just here missing, and finally I’m happy to be here,” he added.

The Nigeria international is eligible to join up with his new side following international clearance ahead of the game against Newcastle United after the international break as they will be hoping to halt an abysmal start to the league.
