Come and get me: Kevin Doyle is one of several Reading players who look certain to leave over the summer.

KEVIN Doyle could be set to follow Marcus Hahnemann to Premier League newboys Wolverhampton Wanderers in a shock £6.5 million move.

The Chronicle can reveal that Wolves boss Mick McCarthy see the talismanic striker as the perfect foil for Sylvan Ebanks-Blake whose 25 goals played a big part in their Championship title-winning success.

Hahnemann, who signed a rolling 12-month contract with Wolves on Wednesday, admits he expects more top players to leave the Madejski Stadium over the summer.

'I think it"s inevitable players will go,' warned the 37-year-old ex-Royals goalkeeper. 'They could well move on because I think the club are trying to off load some salaries.'
