Former Wolves player Stephen Hunt has suggested that Matt Doherty should look to leave the club in the summer. 

Hunt, who played three seasons at Molineux, was discussing the Republic of Ireland international’s excellent form with Off The Ball. 

He went on to suggest that his countryman should be looking at a move to one of the Premier League’s more established clubs, namechecking Tottenham and Arsenal in the progress. 

“What he has done this year is enable himself to go on another level and to get to that next level. So not just the one season wonder he had, he’s now looking at setting goals of trying to get Wolves in the Champions League and then trying to get Ireland in the Euros and then you are looking at a summer move to a top-four club ’cause he’s certainly playing that well.

“If he gets the move, obviously Wolves will determine where he goes, but he’s certainly good enough now to play in Spurs, to play in an Arsenal team…

“…And he’s 28 years of age, can he go and play for an Arsenal? He supports Arsenal. Can he play for Spurs? Can he play for the so-called big teams?

“Right now it suits him perfectly but if he goes through his career just playing for Wolves he might just have an ifs, buts and maybes moment.”

TBR’s View

Undoubtedly, Doherty is showing the sort of form which would warrant a move to either of the aforementioned clubs. 

The North London sides are also desperate for full-back reinforcements, so Doherty could easily be in the crosshairs. 

However, plenty of Wolves fans would undoubtedly wonder why he would leave a team clearly on the up for the likes of Arsenal and Spurs, considering their recent struggles. 

Wolves are currently ahead of both teams in the Premier League and chasing Europa League glory this season. 

If Liverpool or Manchester City came calling, Wolves fans would likely understand an exit. However, if it is a choice between staying at Molineux or making a switch to North London, Wolves fans would be disappointed if Doherty made the move.
