HAVE FAITH IN BENIK

-

BENIK AFOBE has been backed to rapidly make his mark on Wolves’ Premier League push.

Afobe, who has rejoined the club on loan from Bournemout­h, is yet to find the net in three substitute appearance­s.

But Wanderers are confident the striker, 25, (right) will make a big contributi­on.

Ahead of tonight’s Norwich clash, defender Matt Doherty said: “He’s come on a couple of times and almost scored twice. Once one goes in, it’ll only be a matter of time before he starts scoring. It’s not just on the pitch, it’s off the pitch also.

“I’ve never played in a better squad. If I did, I’d probably be in the Premier League already.”

Leaders Wolves have lost just once in 17 league games and the Irishman added: “It doesn’t make us take our foot off the gas – we wouldn’t be allowed to do that at all.

“We want to get as many points as we can, and get it over with as soon as possible.”
