Wolves have had no Benik Afobe offers, says Kenny Jackett

Wolves manager Kenny Jackett has confirmed the club have received no approaches for striker Benik Afobe.
Norwich City had a £10m bid for the player turned down in the summer transfer window, with reports at that stage claiming Wolves were holding out for £14m.
Wolves play Leeds United live on Sky Sports 1HD on Thursday night, and Afobe could be recalled to the starting line-up for that game, having been among the substitutes for the past two matches following a run of just one goal in seven outings.
With Afobe's attitude impressing his boss after being demoted to the bench, Wolves could call upon the striker once more as they bid to secure a first home win since early October.
But Jackett insists the Premier League interest the 22-year-old ex-Arsenal forward attracted in the summer has not arrived again prior to next month's transfer window.
"There have been no offers or approaches from any clubs," Jackett told Wolves' official website.
"Until that happens, nothing happens. Should it build up like last time we'll have to see. As it stands there's nobody making any enquiries, it's all quiet on that front.
"No, we haven't had any difference or conversations on Benik, other than making sure he scores goals and plays well. And he hasn't thrown his toys out of the pram at all.
"He's been working hard, again trained hard and well, and scored goals in training which is good. We want him to really push now and get back."
