Botched Wolverhampton Wanderers deal would've left me heartbroken - Afobe

The striker was in danger of missing out on a move to his former club, and disclosed it would have been gutted had the deal not gone through

Benik Afobe has revealed that he would have been left heartbroken had he missed out on the chance to rejoin Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The DR Congo international wanted a loan move back to his former side after he endured a torrid time at Bournemouth this season.

Afobe was used sparingly at the Vitality Stadium this term, starting only five of the 17 English Premier League appearances he made.

And the 24-year-old who 'nearly miss the deadline by 10 minutes' stated he only wanted to return to the Molineux Stadium outfit, where he joined the Cherries from in 2016.
