# Wolves: Wanderers ready to snub Matt Doherty reunion

**Wolves are ready to turn down the opportunity to re-sign Matt Doherty from Tottenham this month, according to a fresh transfer rumour.**

### The Lowdown: Doherty tipped for Wolves return

The 29-year-old has struggled to make a significant impact at Spurs since leaving Molineux in 2020, making [just 42 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-doherty/alletore/spieler/171679) in the last couple of seasons.

As such, Doherty has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-transfer-rumours/wolves-journalist-backs-potential-matt-doherty-return/) with a return to Wolves in the January transfer window, in a move that could potentially go down well with Wanderers supporters given his incredible production in his last spell with the club, scoring [28 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-doherty/leistungsdaten/spieler/171679) in over 300 appearances..

If a new report is to be believed, however, the 25-cap Republic of Ireland international will not be making his way back to the Midlands.

### The Latest: Contrasting rumour emerges

According to [*The Mirror*](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-live-arsenal-manutd-25930869), Wolves are ‘ready to snub’ a return for Doherty, with the player himself not thought to be keen on the idea of a move back.

The right-back still wants to remain in the Premier League, however, and an exit from Spurs could still be on the cards.

### The Verdict: Could be an error

Doherty was a brilliant servant for Wanderers over many years, so the idea of missing out on a reunion with him is disappointing.

Granted, the former Black Country star is about to turn 30 later this month but he has been [hailed](https://www.footballfancast.com/premier-league/wolves/matt-doherty-alexander-arnold-mills) as ‘absolutely superb’ by Danny Mills in the past and his attacking quality is undeniable, having[registered 41 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-doherty/alletore/spieler/171679) for Wolves last time out – that sort of creativity from the flank would not go amiss.

He would provide ideal competition and support for Nelson Semedo, adding depth in a position that requires players to maintain an immense level of fitness.
