"We can play with both" - Vitor Pereira open to striker partnership at Wolves

Larsen was struggling with an Achilles injury when he missed league defeats against Everton and Newcastle United respectively earlier in the season, but has played through the pain barrier to start the past three games in all competitions. 

Silva admits that the Norwegian frontman is not quite at his "best level" at the moment, but is confident he could form a partnership with deadline day signing Arokodare once both are in peak condition. 

"I believe that we can play with both, but at this moment, Larsen is struggling with injury because he's not fully fit," Pereira said.

"The Larsen that you used to see, pressing, fighting, because he's with some pain and struggling with injury, but he's trying to help the team in this important moment, although he's not at his best level."

Arokodare has started twice for Wolves in the Premier League, but came off the bench in the draws against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton respectively prior to the international break.

The 24-year-old, who joined on transfer deadline day from Belgian outfit Genk for £23.4million, scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 success over Everton in the League Cup last month. 

"The pre-season of Tolu's was a pre-season without games," he added about the Nigerian international.

"That's because he was in a position where could leave the club or stay. 

"When he first came in and started to work with us, he was not ready to start a game, but we needed him. 

"We started with him in Newcastle. He tried his best, he scored a beautiful goal against Everton, but he is not yet in his best shape."
