Wolves goal ace Afobe feeling 'unstoppable'

Benik Afobe says he is feeling super confident as he brings his first season with Wolves to a close.

The 22-year old striker joined the Championship club permanently from Arsenal in January after a successful loan at MK Dons in the first half of the season.

Afobe has scored 12 goals for Wolves to take his tally for the season to 31 and he admits he is playing with a renewed confidence.

"I had self-belief but when you play week in, week out you're going to get more confidence - it's a different type of confidence - it's one to know you're unstoppable," he said.

"At the moment we do analysis on the other team, the defenders, the keeper, and you hear this player was playing in the Premier League and has experience but I don't care at all, not one bit.

"It doesn't matter what league I'm playing in I'm going to score.

"It's the mentality you've got to change to be a top goalscorer and I've realised that.

"All the top goalscorers who score week in, week out like (Lionel) Messi and (Sergio) Aguero, they believe they are going to score before they've had a chance and that's the only difference between a top goalscorer and an average striker."
