Tottenham Hotspur have sold right back Kyle Walker-Peters to Southampton this summer, and need to find a replacement.
Right back should be Tottenham’s priority now, with Serge Aurier the only natural right back at the club – and even he has been linked away from Spurs.
Gedson Fernandes was asked to play there against Ipswich Town last week, and could now be tasked with being second choice.
Still, Jose Mourinho is looking for a new right back, and Football.London report that he wants to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers ace Matt Doherty.
It’s claimed that Spurs hope to pull off a deal worth just £12million, having been impressed with Doherty’s attacking play.
The 28-year-old has notched eight goals and 11 assists in two Premier League campaigns for Wolves, and could now head to North London.
Doherty was a boyhood Arsenal fan, but could end up at Spurs instead – and Tottenham fans appear to be happy with the rumours.
Some believe that Doherty is the perfect player to solve Tottenham’s right back issues, urging the club to pay up and bring the Irishman to the club this summer.
