Forgotten Man City star, 22, set for summer transfer despite two relatives being club legends

WOLVES are set to add Manchester City’s Tommy Doyle to their ranks in a £4.3m deal.

The 22-year-old midfielder has been on loan at Molineux this season, making 29 appearances.

The Wanderers have the option to make the move permanent.

This is Doyle’s fourth loan after spells at Hamburg, Cardiff and Sheffield United.

He has neither scored nor assisted in the Premier League this season.

But Wolves manager Gary O’Neil insisted the club are “delighted” with the player’s progress this season.

He said: “We are very pleased with his performance, so I don’t foresee any problems.

“I hope he’s here next year. Hopefully we can get this done quickly in the summer.

“I know Tommy feels at ease and I know he’s enjoying it.”

Doyle’s departure from the Etihad would mean he would leave the club that is close to his family.

The midfielder’s grandfathers, Mike Doyle and Glyn Pardoe, are two of Man City’s biggest icons.

His paternal grandfather, Mike Doyle, is City’s third greatest player, having made 570 appearances for the club.

While Pardoe, Doyle Jnr’s maternal grandfather, still holds the record for being City’s youngest ever player, making his debut at 15 years and 314 days.

The pair played in Man City’s 1969 FA Cup final victory over Leicester City.

Both scored in the 2-1 League Cup victory over West Brom the following year.
