A move to Saudi Arabia is on for former Tottenham fullback Matt Doherty.

The Republic of Ireland fullback is a free agent after leaving Atletico Madrid at the end of the season.

Doherty joined Atletico in January after terminating his Tottenham deal six months early.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says Saudi clubs have expressed interest in the fullback.

And talks are now underway about a move to the Saudi Pro League for Doherty.
