Tottenham complete £15m signing of Wolves and Republic of Ireland right-back Matt Doherty

Wolves right-back Matt Doherty has completed an anticipated £15m move to Tottenham.

Sportsmail revealed on Friday that Spurs had agreed a fee with the Midlands side for the 28-year-old’s services following a breakthrough in talks.

But both clubs have now confirmed the full-back has signed a contract until 2024 and will wear the number two shirt.

On the move, Doherty said: ‘I am very proud to be joining such a big club. It has the best stadium and possibly the best training ground in the world from what I have seen.

‘When you start something new you want to start well and get off to a fast start. I can’t wait to get going.

‘I wanted to travel down to play in the game [against Birmingham] and that’s how excited I feel coming here.’

One of Doherty’s tweets from seven years ago was uncovered and might raise some eyebrows

Doherty’s arrival will allow Serge Aurier to move on but Tottenham are still to receive an official bid for the £22m-rated full-back.

The 28-year-old is Spurs’ third signing of the summer after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg joined from Southampton and Joe Hart arrived from Burnley.

But the news may still cause some Tottenham fans to raise a few eyebrows at his tweet from September 2013, however, which read: ‘Yes I’m a HUGE Arsenal fan!’

Should Doherty prove himself on the pitch, however, Spurs supporters are likely to forgive any old allegiance towards their great rivals – especially given talisman Harry Kane was famously pictured wearing the Gunners’ kit as a boy.
