Wolves defender Matt Doherty is set to sign with super agent Jorge Mendes.

The Irish Independent says Doherty is in line for a new contract at Wolves, and could become the first Irish client of influential agent Mendes before getting a deal done.

The 26-year-old has starred for the Premier League newcomers and that rise in status is set to be recognised.

He is under contract until 2021 on a deal worth in the region of £20,000-per-week (€22,000) that was thrashed out while they were still in the Championship.

Doherty could reasonably expect to double his money in forthcoming negotiations.
