Benik Afobe "delighted" to join Bournemouth

New Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe reveals his delight after joining the Cherries on a four-and-a-half-year deal from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Benik Afobe has revealed his delight after completing a £10m move from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Bournemouth.

The 22-year-old underwent a medical with the Cherries on Sunday afternoon, before signing a four-and-a-half-year contract at the Premier League club.

Afobe, who came through the youth ranks at Arsenal, has also thanked Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe for giving him the chance to play in the top flight.

"I'm delighted. It's been a long time coming and I am just very thankful the manager has given me this chance and opportunity to be at this Premier League club and I can't wait to get going," he told Cherries Player HD.

"I've learned a lot definitely - good things and bad things - and I'm just going to take it all on board and keep improving while I'm here at Bournemouth. The manager here is a young manager so he obviously understands how young players think."

Afobe scored 23 goals in 45 games for Wolves and also notched 19 in 30 appearances for MK Dons during the 2014-15 season.
