New Wolves signing Benik Afobe has confirmed he 'cried tears of joy' after finally sealing a move back to his former club late on deadline day. 

In a report by the Birmingham Mail, Afobe spoke of his delighted at Cherries manager Eddie Howe allowing him to make a move back to the Championship table toppers, a move which was only given the green light with just 20 minutes of the window remaining.

Afobe will be hoping to go straight into the squad to face Sheffield United this evening, and he admitted it was a topsy turvy transfer period for him personally.

"I was on, then off, then on, then off, then on again with 20 minutes to go, so it was stressful,” Afobe said. “I’ve had two serious career-threatening injuries in football before, but that six hours was probably the most difficult of my life because that’s how much I wanted to come back to Wolves.

Afobe had enjoyed an excellent spell with Wolves previously, form which ultimately earnt him a £9m move to Bournemouth and the Premier League, however, he has struggled to adapt to life back in the top flight and has been short of opportunities under Cherries boss Eddie Howe.
