On 14 January 2015, Afobe signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers for a reported £2 million, and was assigned the number 12 shirt, which was previously used by loanees Yannick Sagbo and Danny Graham.
He scored in his debut for the club three days after signing, entering as a substitute for James Henry and walking the ball into the net in added time to confirm a 2–0 home win against Blackpool.
He ended the season having scored 13 goals during 21 appearances for Wolves, but the team was denied a play-off place by goal difference.

Afobe scored the opening goal of the season for his club in a 2–1 win away to Blackburn Rovers.
As the summer 2015 transfer window drew to a close, he was the subject of interest from newly promoted Premier League club Norwich City, who reportedly entered a series of bids.
In response, Wolves issued a statement to say that "neither Benik nor any of Wolves' first team forward players, will be sold this season".
Afobe remained a Wolves player at the close of the summer transfer window and went on to score 10 goals before the turn of the year.
During the January transfer window, Afobe again attracted interest from the Premier League with Bournemouth's bid of a reported £10 million ultimately being accepted.

In the aftermath of Afobe's departure, Wolves' head of football development and recruitment Kevin Thelwell told fans: "Benik was no longer trying to play for us.
That was undermining everything we were trying to achieve"; chief executive Jez Moxey added that "[Afobe] insisted on moving.
We were forced into doing a deal that we didn't want to do".
Afobe himself responded via social media: "I did my best.
It was hard for us all.
I asked to leave but only because I wanted to play in the Premier League, but I never told my team-mates or disrupted the changing room".
