A report claims that Wolverhampton Wanderers are eyeing Hibernian striker Jason Cummings to fill the void left by Bournemouth-bound Benik Afobe.

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Kenny Jackett has reportedly identified Jason Cummings as the ideal striker to replace the recently departed Benik Afobe.

Afobe, who scored 10 goals for Wolves this season, completed his switch to Bournemouth yesterday in a deal thought to be worth around £10m.

As far as a replacement goes, Sky Sports News claims that Hibernian frontman Cummings is Jackett's preferred option.

The 20-year-old has found the net on 16 occasions for his Scottish Championship employers this term.

It is believed that the Scotland Under-21 international has 18 months left to run on his current contract at Easter Road.
