Dapo Afolayan is Bolton Wanderers' top scorer this season and is in a rich vein of form at present.
The former West Ham United attacker initially joined Wanderers last January iniitally on loan, before signing a permanent deal last summer.
He put pen to paper on a three-year deal in what is his first full season of men's football in the EFL.

Afolayan has been one of, if not the, star of the season for Wanderers, finding the back of the net on 12 occasions in all competitions.
Ten of these goals have come in League One and the latest of these was on Tuesday evening when he scored the second goal versus Cambridge United.
It came of the end of a dribble into the box as Afolayan took his time and picked his moment to find the back of the net.
Dribbling is a hallmark of Afolayan's game and he is one of the most successful in League One at it.
And in fact, he is the most successful at it in the division with 50 successful ones this campaign.
It puts him four ahead of Rotherham United star Chiedozie Ogbene, while Cambridge's James Brophy and Plymouth Argyle's Panutche Camará have 43.
Sheffield Wednesday star and former Wanderers midifelder Barry Bannan has 34, while Matt O'Riley is on 33, though the MK Dons man will not add to this due to moving to Celtic.
New Wanderers signing Kyle Dempsey meanwhile has 30 from his time at Gillingham, which is encouraging for the Whites going forwards.
