Wolves have completed the signing of young Arsenal striker Benik Afobe for an undisclosed fee. The 21-year-old Londoner has scored 19 goals in 30 games since starting what was intended to be a season-long loan with League One side MK Dons.

Meanwhile, striker Kevin Doyle, 31, has returned to Molineux from his half-season loan at Crystal Palace, and forward Bjorn Sigurdarson, 23, has joined Danish side FC Copenhagen on loan until the end of the season.

Nice have been prevented by FIFA from registering new signing Hatem Ben Arfa.

The playmaker, a free agent after his release from Newcastle, joined Le Gym last Monday but was not available for Saturday's win over Lorient as he awaited international clearance.

The problem was due to the clause in FIFA's transfer regulations which states a player cannot play for more than two clubs in the same season.

Article 5.3 of FIFA's regulations on the status and transfer of players states: "Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play official matches for two clubs."

Ben Arfa made eight appearances on loan at Hull - and an appearance for Newcastle's under-21 side earlier in the season has been ruled by FIFA to be an 'official' match.

Nathaniel Chalobah's loan move to Bordeaux has been nixed for this very same reason.
