Despite failing to make much impact in the game, Pereira heaped plaudits on Arokodare.
“After, we need a striker. We had one training with Tolu,” he told the club’s official website.
“He’s a different player, he’s physically strong, he gives us the possibility to play long ball and to hold this ball and to give time for us to appear.
“He did well, of course he is not in the physical condition to do better.”
