STRIKER Benik Afobe has re-joined Wolverhampton Wanderers from Cherries for an undisclosed fee.

The frontman, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Molineux, saw the move confirmed after today passing a medical with the Championship winners.

Afobe netted six times in 16 games to help Wolves seal a return to the Premier League after heading back to the club from Cherries on loan in January.

The permanent deal, believed to be worth around £12.5million, was part of an option to buy taken up by Wolves as part of the loan arrangement.

Frontman Afobe joined Cherries from Wolves for £9million in January 2016.

His first goal for the Dorset club came when he converted a cross from Charlie Daniels in a 3-0 Premier League home win over Norwich.

The former Arsenal youngster netted 11 times in 70 appearances for Cherries and provided four assists.

He found the net once for Eddie Howe’s men this season. That goal came in the 3-1 Carabao Cup fourth round triumph over Middlesbrough.

One of the final dealings of the 2018 English January transfer window, Afobe said he was “home” after reuniting with Nuno Espírito Santo's side on loan.

Wolves's promotion to the top flight triggered a further bonus payment for Cherries in the loan agreement, believed to have been in the region of £1million.
