Doherty is the Wolves’ longest serving player, but not for long …

Doherty wants the move after 10 years at Molineux and is expected to close the deal in the next few days.

His upcoming arrival at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium means Serge Aurier will be allowed to leave this summer.

Republic of Ireland international Doherty has been with Molineux since joining from Bohemians in 2010, playing 302 games and scoring 28 goals.

He played for the club in Sky Bet League One when the Wolves were relegated to the third division in 2013 and was an important part of their promotion to the Europa League under Nuno Espirito Santo.

It will be Spurs’ third summer deal after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg joined Southampton for £ 20m and Joe Hart received a free transfer.

Jose Mourinho had to get stronger on the right side after Kyle Walker-Peters moved to Southampton earlier this month.

Wolves boss Nuno wants to develop the squad, which finished seventh in the Premier League for the second time in a row last season.

The club remain in talks with Arsenal for Ainsley Maitland-Niles as Nuno is looking for versatile players, particularly with full-back Jonny who is out long-term with a serious knee injury.
