Official: Arsenal youngster Afobe joins Wolves

The 21-year-old scored 19 goals while on loan at MK Dons earlier this season - including two in a 4-0 win over Manchester City - but has now joined the Championship outfit.

Championship side Wolves have completed the signing of Arsenal striker Benik Afobe for an undisclosed fee.

Kenny Jackett revealed on Sunday that a fee had been agreed with the FA Cup holders for Afobe and the player was set to undergo a medical before penning a three-and-a-half-year deal on Wednesday.

Afobe, 21, has impressed during a fruitful loan spell at MK Dons this season, scoring 19 goals in all competitions - including two in a stunning 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United in the League Cup.

Wolves' head of football development Kevin Thelwell told the club's official website: "Having now met Benik he seems like a really outstanding young man and is the right sort of person for us.

"He is very pacy and powerful, good technically, and has an outstanding goalscoring record. He is young and fits the sort of profile we are going for and we are really excited about him signing.

"I am sure he is going to work really hard for us and be a success here in helping us get to where we want to be."

Afobe, who has also had loan spells with Huddersfield Town, Bolton Wanderers and Sheffield Wednesday, could make his debut in Saturday's clash with bottom-of-the-table Blackpool.(Goal)
