Kenny Jackett has told Benik Afobe’s would-be suitors the Wolverhampton Wanderers striker is going nowhere this summer.

Afobe was bought by Wolves from Arsenal for £2million in January, scoring 13 goals in 21 Championship games.

The 22-year-old had already struck 19 times on loan at League One MK Dons – meaning he has more goals than any other player in English football this season, alerting Premier League clubs.

Jackett believes Afobe can replicate those figures for a whole season in the second tier, and insisted Wolves will not be selling.

‘We wouldn’t be surprised if we got some phone calls, that’s pretty obvious, he has done well,’ admitted the Wolves manager. ‘But that’s not something we are looking to do. We brought him here to take us forward and build a team around him.'

Chief executive Jez Moxey said: ‘He signed a three-and-a-half year contract. He is very happy here developing, he realises he can improve under Kenny. He wants to get us in the Premier League, that’s the plan. I’m confident we’ll be strengthening our team not weakening it.’

Jackett added: ‘Giving him a permanent home has really helped him after a number of loans. At 22, I definitely think he can improve in the future. His overall confidence levels have built up since he’s been here. His all-round game is very good.

‘I worked with him at Millwall and could see a degree of frustration. Was he going to get a chance at Arsenal? Very, very high standards there.

'The board of directors have done very well to bring him here. He’s made a big impact and it’s about him now trying to do that for a full season. We feel he has the potential to do that. We hope he can build on what he’s done this year.’
