Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has completed a £5 million ($8 million) move to English Premier League rivals Wolverhampton.

O'Hara has signed a five-year contract after enjoying a successful loan spell at Molineux during the second half of last season.

The 24-year-old scored three goals in 13 games including one against Blackburn on the final day of the season which helped keep Wolves in the Premier League.

Manager Mick McCarthy said: "Jamie made a big impact when he first came here. There was a dip in form at one juncture but he came strong again at the end."

Wolves are also interested in £3million-rated Reading defender Matt Mills and Liverpool left-back Paul Konchesky who spent the second half of last season on loan to Nottingham Forest.

McCarthy is also looking for a new keeper as back-up for Wayne Hennessey after Marcus Hahnemann was released at the end of last season.
