Wolverhampton Wanderers are hoping to sign Tommy Doyle but the Manchester City talent isn’t totally convinced yet.
Wolves certainly need to add midfield talent having allowed Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho to leave this summer.
A top target appears to be Doyle, but The Sun’s Alan Nixon reports that the Manchester City prospect isn’t sure.
Nixon claims that Doyle has been telling friends that he wants to make sure that he has a starting role at Wolves if he is to make the move.
City seem ready to cash in on Doyle this summer and Wolves are ready to strike a deal.
However, Doyle wants assurances that he would play regularly at Molineux before committing to joining Julen Lopetegui’s men.

Doyle is understood to fancy a return to Sheffield United but the Blades may not be able to afford him.
That leaves Wolves as the most likely destination but Doyle still needs a little convincing yet.
