It looked like it might be Sheffield United, then there was talk of New York City, but now Eoin Doyle looks like he's ready to make the move that many had anticipated at the start of the month. The top scorer in England this year is close to a move up to the Championship after Chesterfield confirmed they have agreed a deal with Cardiff City for the former Sligo Rovers man.

400K now. 450k over the next 12 months, plus a 15% sell on clause and further money upon promotion to the PL. (2/2) so yes..pretty good.
