Benik Afobe has had a whirlwind 18 months. After bursting onto the scene in a prolific loan spell at MK Dons in the first half of last season, the striker then earned a move to Wolves and now a club-record move to AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League. But it wasn’t always like that for the Cherries new man, who suffered two serious injuries, which provided him with plenty to overcome before he made it to the top. Shoot takes a look...

Middlesbrough travel to Brentford on Tuesday night looking to maintain their four-point lead at the top of the table. Aitor Karanka’s side are unbeaten in eight league matches, winning seven, and will have fond memories of playing the Bees after beating them in the play-semi finals last season. Brentford boss Dean Smith, who saw his side knocked out the FA Cup by former club Walsall on Saturday, will be aiming for a seventh home...
