And claims Nuno Espirito Santo wants both on permanent deals this summer.

Afobe, 25, returned to Molineaux from Bournemouth in the January window and would cost around £10m after scoring five goals since his switch.

Nuno brought in classy defender Boly, 27, from former club Porto and is ready to trigger a £10m clause to make the move permanent.

Fellow loanees Leo Bonatini and Alfred N’Diaye also have fees written into their short-term contracts.

On his future, Afobe said: “Obviously I’m contracted to Bournemouth, I’ve had a great time there and I’m only on loan.

“I’ve got to show respect to Bournemouth so we’ll have to look and see what happens in the summer.
