Wolves are working on a new contract for Matt Doherty amid interest from Tottenham, claims The Daily Mirror.
Doherty has arguably been Wolves’ best player in the Premier League this season and his current deal is due to expire in 2021.
Tottenham are interested in the Ireland international and Wolves have tasked super-agent Jorge Mendes with securing his long-term future.
Wolves are already bracing themselves for summer interest in Ruben Neves and will be reluctant to lose Doherty as well.
Tottenham considered selling Serge Aurier in the summer and Kieran Trippier has struggled to rediscover his best form in the wake of the 2018 World Cup.
Doherty has never angled for a move away from Molineux and Wolves are confident the 26-year-old will prolong his stay.
Doherty has played a direct hand in seven goals in 21 Premier League appearances this season (goals three, assists four).
In fact, only Raul Jimenez (10) has played a direct hand in more league goals than Doherty of all Wolves players this season.
Finally, Doherty is Wolves’ highest WhoScored rated player in the Premier League this season (7.32), while only two defenders in the division are winning more aerial duels per game than the Wolves No.2 (5).
