Benik Afobe delighted by Wolverhampton Wanderers switch

New Wolves signing Benik Afobe admits that "it feels fantastic" to have joined the club from Arsenal.

Benik Afobe has admitted that "it feels fantastic" to have joined Wolverhampton Wanderers from Arsenal.

The 21-year-old striker signed a deal with the Championship club on Wednesday for an undisclosed fee.

Afobe spent the first half of the season on loan at League One outfit MK Dons, where he scored 19 goals in 31 matches.

"It feels fantastic," he told the club's official website. "It's been a long process with the medical; I've never had to do a medical before but that's all done now. Hopefully I can start training on Thursday and get ready for the game on Saturday.

"The facilities here are fantastic. You can see that it's a club that deserves to be in the Premier League. It's just about getting there and hopefully we can do that. I just want to say that I'm happy to become a Wolves player and I can't wait to get going."

Afobe could make his Wolves debut on Saturday when they welcome Blackpool to Molineux in the Championship.
