Jamie O'Hara has joined Portsmouth on loan but has also committed his long-term future to Tottenham by signing a new deal.
30-1-11: Wolves have signed Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara on loan for the remainder of the season.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy said: "Jamie is a good player and will add quality to our squad and hopefully improve us as a team.
"He has been injured, he has recovered from that, and he is fine and needs a bit of game time.
"He is also a good personality around the place, a good positive signing for us."
29-1-10: Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has rejoined Portsmouth on loan until the end of the season.
1-7-11: Jamie O'Hara has joined Wolves for £5m from Tottenham, signing a five-year deal.
O'Hara has become the most expensive midfielder in the club's history, beating the £2.6m paid for Nenad Milijas to Red Star Belgrade two years ago.
O'Hara said: "It's going to be sad leaving Tottenham. I had a great career there and the fans were always different class with me.
"I'll always support Spurs but it's one of those things. I had to move on.
"The chairman and the manager at Wolves put a lot of faith in me after I had been out for a long time with a back problem.
"I was put straight into the side and to make a permanent move now after a scary end to the season (narrowly avoiding relegation) is brilliant.
"I didn't even ask for a five-year deal. They offered me it. It is fantastic. It shows they wanted me and wanted me to be here for the long haul."
He said: "I don't think we'll have an end to next season like this season.
"It's going to be our third season in the Premier League and hopefully we can push on and be a force to be reckoned with.
"It is definitely a club that is on the way up."
O'Hara added: "I want to achieve things at the club. I wouldn't have signed here if I didn't think this club was going to be pushing forward.
"I think it is a club on the up. It is going to be down to the club a
