Stoke City are keen to sign striker Benik Afobe from Wolves - only four days after the Championship winners signed him from Bournemouth.

Afobe, 25, rejoined Wolves on loan in January from the Cherries and scored six goals in 16 appearances as they won promotion to the Premier League.

Wolves triggered a clause in the deal to sign the Democratic Republic of Congo international for £10m on Friday.

However, it is anticipated a move to Stoke will be completed for £12m.

The Democratic Republic of Congo international scored 22 goals in 46 league matches in his first spell with Wolves before moving to Bournemouth for £10m in 2016.

Former Arsenal forward Afobe scored 11 goals in 70 appearances at Bournemouth before joining for a second spell at Molineux earlier this year.

If this is true it sounds very dodgy bearing in mind the clubs relationship with agents.

From what I could gather they had to buy him if they want up. This has been my concern with Wildshut after whys Warnock said when he signed.

Something stinks in all this.

Sold in 2016 for 10million loaned back 6 months later then bought back for the same price to be sold at a profit a few weeks later?

Can't quite put my finger on it but it's much like the lad we got from America and returned for the same fee.
