Norwich consider fourth bid for Benik Afobe

Wolves are believed to have slapped a minimum price tag of £14million on their most prized asset – after yesterday rejecting a third offer of £10m from the Canaries.

Persistent Norwich had lodged a bid of £8m for Afobe just 24 hours earlier.

Wolves are holding firm for now and do not welcome the advances so close to the end of the transfer window, which slams shut at 6pm on Tuesday.

In a brief statement the club said: "Wolves can confirm that a third bid from Norwich City for Benik Afobe has been immediately rejected.

"The club's position, outlined on Wednesday August 19 2015, remains unchanged."

That position stated that Afobe, nor any of Wolves' first-team forwards, would be sold this season.

From a financial point of view, Wolves believe that Afobe's goals giving them a far better chance of promotion.

They would rather gamble on winning the riches the Premier League has to offer than sell Afobe now and further risk another season in the Championship.

And there has not yet been an indication that Afobe wants to leave. Head coach Kenny Jackett insisted on Tuesday night that the talented forward was going nowhere.

He said: "We're looking at the whole picture, the amount of time left in the window, the overall prices, there's so much to consider and everything points to Wolves not letting anybody go."

Meanwhile, striker Adam le Fondre reckons teenager Bright Enobakhare's potential is 'unlimited.'

The 17-year-old, set up by Le Fondre, scored just three minutes into his senior debut during Wolves' 2-1 League Cup win over Barnet.

Le Fondre said: "He's got unlimited potential. He looks like a really good player and a great prospect – I think he'll go on and have a great career."
