Arsenal boss Wenger big fan of Wolves striker Doyle

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he's a big fan of Wolves striker Kevin Doyle.

The Gunners face Wolves today.

"I believe he is an intelligent player - I like him personally," said Wenger. "Against France, he gave us a lot to deal with.

"He is a typical, intelligent striker, but has not one single quality which makes you think, 'he's quick, he's tricky'. But all he does makes sense.

"His fighting attitude is good. His pace is not exceptional but strong. His body strength is not ­exceptional, but strong.

"He's good ­everywhere. I followed him as, when we played against Reading, their manager ­Steve Coppell told me that he's a good player. I have ­followed him since then and I think he was right!"
