Steve Bruce was linked to the Scottish right back in the summer in a swap deal for Anton Ferdinand but the deal collapsed in the final moments.
It is still unsure whether Hutton is joining on loan or on a permanant basis but these details should be announced in the next few hours.
Hutton has found it hard at Spurs since joining from Rangers for £9m two years ago and has missed most of his Premiership career through injury.
Hopefully this move will improve his fitness and we will finally have a right back to help the back four settle.
In other news Nyron Nosworthy has joined Sheffield United on loan until the end of the season.
