Derby County are reportedly planning a club-record bid to land Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Benik Afobe.

The 22-year-old has scored 22 times in 46 league appearances since joining the Midlands side from Arsenal in January 2015 and has been tipped for a switch back to the top flight.

Norwich City were in hot pursuit of Afobe in the summer window, having three bids rejected including a top offer of £10m.

Now the Rams are considering a club-record transfer bid, according to The Sun's Alan Nixon, as they look to secure promotion in the second half of the Championship campaign.

The most Derby are thought to have previously paid for a player is £6m for midfielder Bradley Johnson in September 2015.

Wolves, who sit seven points off the playoff places, are currently up for sale by owner Steve Morgan.
