The DR Congo international was on the books of Wolves from January 2015 until January 2016 when he made the switch to Bournemouth.

The Sun, though, has reported that Afobe will want to remain in the Premier League, and has also claimed that the striker is valued at around £12 million.

Afobe is a very talented and promising striker, but his time at Bournemouth has not been great.
