Report: Wolves set to reject improved £8million Benik Afobe offer
Wolves are all set to reject Norwich City's improved offer for Benik Afobe, believed to be in the region of £8million.
An initial approach for the ex-Arsenal man was rejected last week, but Norwich have now increased their offer and are currently awaiting a response from Wolves.
Newcastle United are also thought to be making a new attempt to sign the 22-year-old as Steve McClaren continues his Newcastle United revolution.
It is believed the only way Benik Afobe will leave the club is if he forces through a move himself. Early indications are that the player has no interest in doing just that.
Afobe already has three goals to name so far this season, but Kenny Jackett will fight hard to keep his best player.
Wolves released the following statement last week:
"In response, Benik was bought from Arsenal in January and other players arrived in the summer, to strengthen the team for the strongest possible challenge on promotion this season.
"Therefore, neither Benik or any of Wolves' first-team forward players will be sold this season.
"Benik has developed into a player of key importance to Wolves and the club's plans for this campaign.
"Wolves have previously resisted the opportunity to sell other key first-team players in this and other recent transfer windows.
"As far as the club is concerned, there is no need to make any further comments or speculation about this issue."
