Wolves not bidding for Boyd

Wolves have quashed reports they are about to make an offer for prolific Glasgow Rangers striker Kris Boyd.

The 26-year-old, who is a Bosman free agent after letting his contract run down with the Scottish champions, is currently assessing up to seven offers for his services, including Wigan and Newcastle along with long-standing suitors Birmingham and Middlesbrough.

But it's also claimed top Turkish sides Bursaspor and Ankaragucu have tabled three-year contracts worth a staggering total of £6million in wages.

Manager Mick McCarthy wants to sign a striker this summer and, with the club uncertain about the £4million valuation of Lens attacker Aruna Dindane, their eyes are already turning elsewhere.

A report in Scotland today claims an offer from Molineux is forthcoming, but the club insist that will not be the case.

But Boyd, who has averaged virtually a goal every game in his four years at Rangers, still has plenty to ponder.

He said: "There's a lot for me to think about. This is an important stage in my career and my life. I'm going away on holiday with my family next week and we'll discuss our options.

"I do have offers from the Continent to consider and playing abroad is something that appeals to me.

"I will give everything careful consideration and hopefully can reach a decision during the next three weeks."

The report says three Premier League clubs have promised to make him an offer over the next few days – Wigan, Newcastle and Wolves.

Rangers want to keep Boyd, but they can't offer anything close to what is on the table elsewhere.
