Wenger lines up £12m bid for Kevin Doyle

According to the Daily Mirror Arsene Wenger is lining up a £12m bid for Wolves striker Kevin Doyle as Arsenal finally prepare to splash the cash. Wenger has targeted Doyle for a surprise switch to the Emirates and will test Mick McCarthy’s resolve to keep the Republic of Ireland international this summer.

Doyle is high on Arsenal’s hit-list of transfer priorities and Wenger wants him to spearhead a new-look Gunners team that will have a British spine [errrm ... he's Irish?]. Gary Cahill and Scott Parker are other targets and Arsenal are ready to firm up their long-standing interest in Doyle with a substantial offer.

Doyle, signed from Reading for a then club record fee of £6.5m in 2009, is halfway through a four-year contract and Wolves are keen to open negotiations over an improved deal. McCarthy has previously insisted it will take an offer of £50m to convince him to part with Doyle and will be determined to fight off Wenger’s interest.
