Liverpool Prepare £10m Shock Move For Republic of Ireland Striker

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is preparing to make a move for Wolverhampton Wanders striker Kevin Doyle according to reports in the Daily Star.

Doyle has been in impressive form for Wolves over the past couple of seasons since his £6.5million switch from Reading in 2009.

Dalglish has been one of the busiest Premier League managers during this summers transfer window and has brought in the likes of, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Doni, Stewart Downing and Jose Enrique to Anfield on top of January signings Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.

Both the Kop boss and Liverpool's director of football Damien Comolli are keen admirers of the 27-year-old, and Comolli was eager to bring Doyle to White Hart Lane when he was working at Tottenham.

The Reds manager is keen add another back up striker ahead of the transfer window closing at the end of the month, with it looking increasingly likely that David Ngog will be heading out of Anfield.

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy will not want to lose one of his prized assets in Doyle, but with Liverpool believed to be preparing a £10million offer it may be hard for the Molineux outfit to turn down.

Last season Doyle made 31 appearances for Wolves in all competition and managed to score eight goals. This season the Republic of Ireland international played twice and scored the opening goal in Saturdays 2-0 win over Fulham.
