Bolton Wanderers fans react as Dapo Afolayan joins St Pauli

The 25-year-old had been with the Whites for two years, finishing last season as the club’s top scorer.

The fee has officially been declared as undisclosed but sources in Germany claim it is worth £500,000.

Here is what Bolton supporters have said about the transfer on social media

Thank you for the memories @dapo_afolayan. Joined us at our lowest, leaves us in a much better position. One of my favourites since the EPL days, and not one bad word to say. Best of luck, Dapo! 💙

How many kids have put Afolayan on their shirts and pretended to be you whilst playing footy. A true role model for young fans. Thankyou for your part in giving us #bwfc happier times. You will be missed but mostly appreciated for the good times . Good luck in Germany

First genuinely exciting player in what felt like years when he joined. Will be missed. But with the changes in shape and squad, the right move for everyone. Cheers Dapo!

You were given the task of getting us back up from Lge 2 to Lge 1 & higher. You didn't just do that but gave us some great moments in between so we're in a good place now. Thanks a lot for everything & hope it goes really well for you in Germany.🤍🤍🤍

All the best Dapo. Never let us down and helped turn the club around.

I hope he's a roaring success at his new club and he deserves it given the effort he's put in to help get our club back up on its feet. Good luck @dapo_afolayan and all the best from all us

Seemed like an absolute gentleman of a player. Will be fondly remembered. All the best for Germany Dapo (hope we have a decent sell on clause)

All the best to a player with a bright future go and smash it @dapo_afolayan. Thank you for some glorious moments, last minute winners and sending defenders to the shop with that drop of the shoulder.
