Stoke City are said to be keen on the Wolverhampton Wanderers star, once linked with a move to Swansea City.

Could Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Benik Afobe emerge as a target for Swansea City in the coming months?

An agreement struck with Bournemouth in January saw Afobe complete a £10 million permanent move to Wolves last Friday. But the 25-year-old could be on his travels once again, according to the Daily Mirror.

The newspaper reports that Wolves are prepared to sell Afobe to Stoke for a £2 million profit.

And Stoke aren’t the only ones who may be in need of reinforcements at centre forward, where Swansea have seen Tammy Abraham return to Chelsea and could yet lose both Ayew brothers, Wilfried Bony and Oli McBurnie.

Given the Welsh side’s interest in Afobe during last summer’s transfer window, as reported by the Daily Mail, it is possible that they could enter the running to sign the DR Congo star.

But with Stoke and potentially others keen – after all, he scored six goals from seven starts in his latest spell at Wolves after – Swansea may have to move fast.
