Tottenham are closing in on a deal for Matt Doherty from Wolves.

The right-wing back is someone Jose Mourinho admires greatly, and he would solve a problem position for the Portuguese boss.

And The Independent says an agreement between the two clubs is close.

Doherty is happy to make the move, while Wolves want to secure £20 million for the player's signature.

Spurs want to lower the fee, hoping to make up the difference through performance add-ons.

The London club have a limited budget this summer due to COVID-19 and stadium payments, and Mourinho has several areas of the squad he wants to strengthen.
