Benik Afobe may not be the most-exciting name out there, but the former Arsenal youngster has impressed at both Milton Keynes Dons and Wolverhampton Wanderers this season. The powerful and pacey six-foot forward has netted 23 league goals in 43 games and has proven a handful for defences in both League One and the Championship. Having moved to Wolves for £2 million in January, a fee in the region of £3-4 million should be enough to prise him away from the Midlands if the Magpies want to add some strength to their forward line.
