Tosin plays middleman in Arokodare's bid for Caicedo's shirt after Chelsea's win at Wolves

Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo helped Tolu Arokodare secure Moises Caicedo's shirt following their thrilling 4-3 Carabao Cup victory over Wolves at Molineux Stadium.

Arokodare, who joined Wolves on deadline day, found the net early in the second half to spark hopes of a comeback after Chelsea had gone into the break with a three-goal lead.

The goal was the Nigerian forward’s second of the competition, having also scored in the third-round win over Everton.

Despite Wolves’ late push to level the contest, Jamie Gittens’ strike ensured Chelsea held on to claim a 4-3 win and advance to the next round.

After Chelsea’s 4-3 Carabao Cup win over Wolves, Arokodare was seen waiting outside the away dressing room in hopes of getting Moises Caicedo’s shirt.

According to The Sun, approached the Super Eagles striker for a brief chat before helping him secure the Ecuadorian’s jersey.

The Chelsea defender’s gesture meant Yerson Mosquera, Arokodare’s Colombian teammate, missed out on the prized shirt.

Arokodare has endured a difficult start to life in England despite his breakthrough season with Genk in Belgium.

While he has impressed in the Carabao Cup with two goals, the 24-year-old is yet to record a goal or assist in seven Premier League appearances.

With Wolves now eliminated from the Carabao Cup, Arokodare will be eager to regain his scoring touch and help his team avoid relegation from the Premier League.
