Mike Williamson tips "natural" Benik Afobe for Premier League

By , Editor-in-chief
Mike Williamson says that Wolverhampton Wanderers teammate Benik Afobe has "all the attributes" to succeed in the Premier League.

Wolverhampton Wanderers' on-loan defender Mike Williamson has said that teammate Benik Afobe would be a success in the Premier League.

The 22-year-old joined Wolves from Arsenal in January and netted 13 goals in 21 appearances to take his side to within a whisker of the playoffs, leading to summer links with Premier League clubs including Norwich City and Williamson's parent side Newcastle United.

"In training [he] has been fantastic and you can see he has a natural eye for goal as well as all the attributes to be a good Premier League player," Williamson told The Football League Paper.

"He just needs to get his head down, work hard and keep doing what he's doing. That's a natural progression for him, I'm sure."

Afobe netted the equaliser as Wolves held Ipswich Town to a 2-2 draw at Portman Road in the Championship yesterday.
