Wolves have endured a mixed start to the summer transfer window. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha<\/a> leaving for Manchester United and Rayan Ait-Nouri<\/a> joining Manchester City means Vitor Pereira has 32 goal involvements to replace in his squad. <\/p>\n

Wolves hired Domenico Teti as a technical director<\/a> after Matt Hobbs left his role, and the 48-year-old will support Pereira with the club\u2019s business. <\/p>\n

With this restructuring at the top \u2013 including the return of super agent Jorge Mendes \u2013 supporters will hope that the tide is turning at Molineux<\/a>. <\/p>\n

On Friday, Wolves completed the signing of Celta Vigo winger Fer Lopez<\/a> on a five-year contract, and fans were excited about this deal. However, there have now been more rumours of further exits out of the club. <\/p>\n

Tommy Doyle<\/a> is another player being linked with a move out of Molineux this summer, as his last start for the club was a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in January. <\/p>\n

Pereira has bemoaned Doyle\u2019s lack of physicality<\/a> as his reason for not playing him more often, and that has prompted clubs to show an interest in the 23-year-old. <\/p>\n

Sunderland and Wrexham are keen on Doyle<\/a>, who was only signed from Manchester City for just \u00a34.3 million last summer, and they aren\u2019t the only clubs keeping tabs. <\/p>\n

According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, via EFL Analysis<\/a>, Midlands rivals Birmingham City are leading the race for his signature. <\/p>\n

Birmingham have a war chest of funds to spend after cantering to the League One title, and they\u2019re looking to make a statement of intent in the Championship by signing Doyle. <\/p>\n

Wolves must raise Doyle\u2019s asking price<\/p>\n

Wolves<\/a> fans were left dumbfounded when it emerged that Doyle is available for just \u00a33 million<\/a>, despite showing his capabilities in the Premier League. <\/p>\n

Doyle is a \u2018quality\u2019 operator<\/a> in the middle of the park, and letting him go for a measly sum would be a huge mistake. <\/p>\n

Interest from rivals Birmingham only highlights why Wolves must raise the Englishman\u2019s asking price, especially knowing the budget available to manager Chris Davies. <\/p>\n

Considering he\u2019s still only 23, the midfielder still hasn\u2019t reached his full potential, and his class as a deep-lying playmaker should make him an eight-figure asset in the future. <\/p>\n

The best option for Wolves would be to loan the youngster out, as his contract doesn\u2019t expire till 2028, and Man City receive 50% of Doyle\u2019s future fee<\/a>. <\/p>\n

To only land \u00a31.5 million from a player of his quality would be a travesty, and even worse if Birmingham are the club that signs him. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wolves have endured a mixed start to the summer transfer window.
