Wolves Hero Names Shock Favourite Amid Transfer Exit Talk as £20m Signing Kicks Off Major Summer Overhaul
Wolves’ summer rebuild is well underway, with the club wasting no time in shaping Vitor Pereira’s squad for the new Premier League season. The first addition has arrived in the form of Fer Lopez, secured from Celta Vigo in a deal worth around £20 million. However, that positive development comes amid significant upheaval following the high-profile departures of Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City.
Despite work still to be done to equip Pereira with a competitive team, an intriguing moment has emerged involving a current Wolves midfielder who may be heading for the exit. Club cult figure Simon Osborn, who made nearly 200 appearances between 1995 and 2001, has named Tommy Doyle as the present-day player he would have most liked to share a pitch with.
Osborn, reflecting on his playing days where he saw Wolves finish as high as third in the second tier, described himself as a reliable performer who “always got a seven out of ten.” Speaking to the club’s official media, he fondly recalled admiring Joao Moutinho’s influence at Molineux in past seasons, but singled out Doyle as the standout among the current squad.
The former midfielder’s comments come as speculation swirls about Doyle’s future, suggesting his time in the West Midlands may be limited despite praise from club legends.
