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

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

Wanderers have an option to make the move permanent.

This is Doyle’s fourth loan spell after stints with Hamburg, Cardiff and Sheffield United.

He has not scored or assisted in the Premier League this season.

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

He said: “We’re delighted with how he’s done, so I don’t foresee any issues.

“I’d expect him to be here next year. Hopefully, we’ll get that done fairly quickly in the summer.

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

Doyle’s move away from the Etihad would mean him leaving 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-highest appearance-maker with 570 games for the club.

While Pardoe, Doyle Jnr’s maternal grandpa, still holds the record of being City’s youngest-ever player, making his debut aged 15 years and 314 days.

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

They both scored in the 2-1 League Cup triumph against West Brom the following year.
