Feels like this has gained a lot of momentum today. At a price of £12-15m, it seems like a smart deal that fits the profile of what Mou wants in a RB.
Transfer news tracker: Tottenham close to Matt Doherty deal with Wolves
Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers are getting closer to agreeing a fee for Irish right-back Matt Doherty, reports Jack Pitt-Brooke.
Jose Mourinho has made Doherty his priority after an impressive spell at Wolves as he looks for an upgrade on Serge Aurier in that position. Wolves initially wanted £20million for the 28-year-old but Spurs’ first offer was understood to be closer to £12m before add-ons. But both sides are keen to reach an agreement and are likely to settle on a fee of roughly £15m.
Doherty still has three years left on his contract at Wolves but their interest in Ainsley Maitland-Niles of Woolwich suggests that they have already lined up a replacement.
Tottenham have been talking to clubs about a deal for Aurier but this week AC Milan pulled out of the race to sign him. If Doherty joins, he would be Spurs’ third signing of the summer after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton and Joe Hart on a free from Burnley.
