Bournemouth striker Afobe dismisses Wolves, West Brom interest

Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe says he is only focused on scoring goals for the Cherries.

Congo international Afobe recently scored a hat-trick in Bournemouth's Premier League Cup win over Norwich City.

And despite the Sun linking Afobe with West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa and Wolves, the 24-year-old is keen to score goals for the south coast club.

Afobe said: "The Premier League Cup game wasn't about staking a claim, it was to get fitness. Scoring goals, you do stake a claim but I've always been one of those players who do their talking on the pitch.

"All I can do is keep scoring goals in training and take my chance when I play in games. I'm a goalscorer. I had three chances against Norwich and scored three, so it just goes to show that I can do it.

"Whether it's in training, for the reserves or the first team, when you go through one-on-one, it's still the goalkeeper you have to beat. I'm glad I've scored my goals but I want to put that into the first team now."
