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.
He's actually very, very similar to Aurier.If I'm being totally honest I have my reservations about how good he is in a back 4 but for that price its a bargain.

Awesome! COYS
Cheap as well apparently
just watched his interview, sounds like he only signed as he wants a family box at the new ground!

Not to sure where you got that from mate. Aurier is incredibly erratic and takes 30 crosses before he reaches one of our players. Doherty scores goals and has been extremely valuable in terms of creativity for Wolves. Aurier doesn’t have a creative bone in his body. Doherty is miles the better full back mate.
