Jamie O’Hara today revealed his future needs to be sorted out within a week — but he is determined to remain at Wolves.

A fee of around £5m has been agreed with Tottenham and the 24-year-old midfielder wants to turn his loan into a permanent move.

O’Hara, who scored his third goal for Wolves in yesterday’s final-day 3-2 defeat against Blackburn, is settled in the area with girlfriend Danielle Lloyd and son Archie and has even taken out a membership at The Belfry golf club near his rented home in Hammerwich, near Lichfield.

“There’s a deal on the table and Wolves need to say they want me,” said the midfielder.

“A fee has been agreed with Tottenham, but the deal has got to be done within a week.

“That’s up to the chairman and the gaffer to see what they want to do.

“I want to stay. Hopefully the gaffer will want me to stay. Hopefully I’ll be speaking to him over the next week or so and get something sorted.

“I’m happy here and I’m not going back to London. I’m staying here until I know what’s going on.

“I’ve moved out of my house and I’m not planning on going back to London.

“Moving up here was the best thing we ever did. I’ve only been here three months but I’m going on holiday with the boys to Portugal to play golf and we’ll leave the wives in the villa.”

The players celebrated for an hour and a half in the dressing room after the game, but after joining his players and staff, McCarthy went home drained.

“Never in doubt, was it? Piece of cake!” joked the boss. “I’m thrilled and proud but have been through the wringer emotionally.

“I’m mightily relieved but delighted as well because although we lost, we’ve stayed in the Premier League and that’s what matters.

“I have to do my job right so I wasn’t going to start dancing with my drawers in the air.  I said all along it would be May 22 — and we’re out. I’m not sure my ticker can take all this again but everyone saw the celebrations and what it means to everyone.”

Stephen Hunt’s sublime chip ensured Premier League safety and McCarthy was kept up to date with the other scores from head of medical Steve Kemp on the bench via a walkie-talkie link-up with match analyst James Lovell in the dressing room.

“People kept giving me bits of paper and it was like ‘happy days’ or then ‘disaster’” said the boss.
