Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney, watching a midfielder of the Premier League who was praised by Man City Boss Pep Guardiola, amid interest from two other clubs
Wrexham is linked to a Premier League player that Pep Guardiola has described as special. The Red Dragons, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney, reportedly entered into a three-way fight to guarantee the services of Manchester City Academy product Tommy Doyle.
Championship Rivals Birmingham City and newly promoted Top-Flight Side Sunderland is also said that they are interested in the 23-year-old midfielder, who is currently playing for Wolves. The West Midlands outfit is supposed to initially send him on loan after he was out of grace last season under Vitor Pereira, according to the Express & Star.
Doyle made only 12 performances in the Premier League after the Portuguese manager Gary O'Neil replaced in December. Two years ago he came to Wolves on loan from City, before the transfer was made permanently for around £ 4 million last summer.
He came through the ranks in the city and is the grandson of two club legends, Glyn Pardoe and Mike Doyle. He was praised by City Boss Guardiola after he performs a senior against Swansea in the FA Cup in February 2021.
He made a 30-minute cameee during the 3-1 victory of his club after he was set up to replace Ilkay Gundogan. The performance of Doyle impressed Guardiola, who thinks after the game after the game.
“He is a good player, it's not the first time it plays in the games,” said Guardiola. “He is a player with a special quality. He takes it, shoots. Another fan of the man City. A historic family, the historic Doyle family.”
Doyle was also praised by the then teammate Kyle Walker, who greeted his attitude at the first team team. “Tommy, what a great player,” said Walker.
“And also a good boy. An exciting talent, he wants to learn and it's a pleasure to work with him. I have seen many children come through the ranks at countless clubs with a chip on their shoulder, but he is very good and very sober. '
Doyle has made 50 Premier League performances for wolves, including a total of 24 outings in the past term. Earlier he earned promotion from the championship two years ago during a loan saying with Sheffield United.
Wrexham wants to strengthen their ranks while they prepare to play in the second layer for the first time in 43 years next season. It follows the side of Phil Parkinson that protects a third consecutive promotion from the last term of League One.
Striker Ryan Hardie is the only summer transfer from Wrexham that so far signed after participation from Plymouth. The potential exit of Doyle van Wolves was activated after Pereira questioned his suitability of the counter -attack style on his side.
Speaking in April, the manager said: “Technically speaking, he is a very good player, but in my opinion he misses the physicality to face this competition. To walk 50 meters, to come back 50 meters and then go 50 meters again.
“We are not a team to have 80 percent of the possession, so he has problems. If we are a team that has the ball every time, does not allow counterattacks and keeps the ball to dominate the opponent, this is the team for him.
“But we must understand that we are confronted with top teams, top players. We have to run a lot and he misses this physicality, especially when we play with two midfielders. With three midfielders I believe he is a 10 with high quality. The last pass, shots, crossing – he has those skills.”
