BOURNEMOUTH striker Benik Afobe is wanted by West Bromwich Albion.
But Alan Pardew’s Premier League strugglers look as though they have some hard bargaining in store.
Sky Sports report that the Cherries are not so keen to offload Afobe.
They would prefer to sell Lewis Grabban after he was recalled from a loan at Norwich City.
But they could come under pressure to release Afobe for his former club Wolves are also thought to be interested.
Afobe scored 23 goals for them before a £10million move to Bournemouth in 2016.
