Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Benik Afobe: 'I'm unstoppable'

In-form Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Benik Afobe claims that he is "unstoppable" in front of goal as he tries to become the country's top marksman in 2014-15.

Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Benik Afobe has claimed that he is "unstoppable" in front of goal as he bids to become England's top scorer this season.

The 22-year-old has scored 31 goals in all competitions this season, 19 while on loan at MK Dons from Arsenal in the first half of the season and 12 since signing permanently for Wolves in January.

Afobe is one goal ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane in the country's scoring charts and puts his exploits this season down to increased confidence.

"I had self-belief but when you play week in, week out you're going to get more confidence - it's a different type of confidence - it's one to know you're unstoppable," he told PA.

"At the moment we do analysis on the other team, the defenders, the keeper, and you hear this player was playing in the Premier League and has experience but I don't care at all, not one bit.

"It doesn't matter what league I'm playing in I'm going to score."

Afobe's goals have helped Wolves remain in the race for a Championship playoff place. Following his equaliser against rivals Ipswich Town on Saturday, Wolves are three points behind the top six with just two games of the season left.
