Ex-Arsenal striker Afobe tells Trabzonspor fans: I'm a warrior; judge me in May

Former Arsenal and Stoke City striker Benik Afobe has urged Trabzonspor fans not to compare him with Alexander Sorloth.

Sorloth starred with Trabzonspor last season on-loan from Crystal Palace before being sold to RB Leipzig.

Afobe has struggled in comparison, but says: “Don't compare me with Sörloth.

“Not only Sörloth but 5-6 players left the team. I do not compare myself to anyone. I have a warrior spirit. I didn't just come here for a new experience. My goal is to do the best. I will fight until the end.

"The best time to criticise me would be May. It would be correct to make an evaluation at the end of the league."
