Stoke City reportedly want to sign Benik Afobe, who has just made his loan deal at Wolverhampton Wanderers from Bournemouth permanent.

Stoke City are interested in signing Benik Afobe from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 60, June 3, 2018).

It has been reported that Stoke, who will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League, have made Afobe their number one choice in attack.

The report has also claimed that Wolves are weighing up whether or not to sell the 25-year-old former Bournemouth striker, having only just signed him on a permanent contract.

The DR Congo international spent the second half of the past campaign on loan at Wolves, who have paid Bournemouth a transfer fee of £12.5 million in order to make his deal permanent, according to Sky Sports.

Feasible?

Afobe did not make too much of an impact in the Premier League with Bournemouth, but the former Arsenal prospect has a strong record in the Championship with Wolves.

The DR Congo international would be a very good signing for Stoke, but having only just signed him on a permanent contract, it is hard to see Wolves move him this summer.
