Wolverhampton Wanderers are favourites to sign the Bournemouth ace ahead of West Bromwich Albion.

Popular bookmakers SkyBET have installed Wolves as the new favourites in the race to sign Cherries hitman Benik Afobe, cutting them into 5/2 from 8/1 in just two days.

Nuno Espirito Santo will be desperate to bolster his ranks at Molineux this month, with his team experiencing their first real mini blip of the season, having taken just one point from their last two games, and Afobe could be just the man for the job.

The 24-year-old enjoyed a successful one-year spell with the Black Country outfit in 2015, scoring 22 goals in 46 Championship outings, before making his £10 million move to Bournemouth during the 2016 January transfer window.

He has played a peripheral role for the south coast club, however, and has been hotly tipped for an exit from the Vitality Stadium this month.

SkyBET believe that a return to Molineux could be on the cards for the Arsenal academy graduate, and they list Wolves as 5/2 favourites to win the race for his signature, ahead of West Brom at 8/1.

Afobe would undoubtedly offer Nuno something different to what he currently has available to him, and with just six days remaining until the transfer window slams shut, this will certainly be one for Wolves fans to keep a very close eye on.
