Kyle McVey is a transfer target for Linfield

McVey became a target for Blues boss David Jeffrey after the club failed to land Albert Watson from Ballymena.

"I understand both the club and Kyle have received letters from Linfield to express their interest in signing him," said Coleraine manager Marty Quinn.

"We made Kyle a very good and very fair offer five or six weeks ago but he has yet to respond to that," added Quinn.

Watson turned down a summer transfer to Linfield by signing a new two-year deal with Ballymena last week.
