Former Tottenham striker turned popular football pundit Darren Bent feels that Matt Doherty may struggle to show his best form at Spurs. Spurs signed Doherty from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer as Jose Mourinho added depth in the full-back areas. Doherty was simply superb at Wolves and he is expected to take his game to the next level at Spurs. However, his role at Spurs is slightly different from the one he used to perform at Wolves. The Republic of Ireland international was mainly deployed as a wing-back where Doherty got the freedom to join the attack at every possible opportunity. At Spurs, he plays as a conventional right-back where he is asked to stay disciplined at the back. Bent, the former Sunderland striker, is now concerned about whether Doherty would be able to show his be...

The Poland international was heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer, with Premier League clubs Everton and Tottenham Hotspur showing keen interest in signing him. Spurs were particularly keen to sign him as Jose Mourinho was looking to bolster his striker department this summer. He was earmarked as a back-up striker for Harry Kane, and the Polish striker was in talks over a £26million move before the recent transfer window closed. The deal didn’t materialise. Spurs signed Brazilian striker Carlos Vinicius on a season-long loan from Benfica instead. It remains to be seen whether Spurs would be interested in signing Milik ...

Tottenham were linked with a move for the Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar all summer. However, the two clubs failed to agree on a fee and the Slovakian ended up staying at Inter Milan. According to Alasdair Gold from Football London, the Premier League club could make an enquiry for the player once again when the January transfer window opens. He said: “I’d be surprised if an enquiry isn’t made in January but much depends on his position at Inter. The Slovakian wanted to come to Spurs but if he’s playing every week and the Italian club do not want to let him go then it’s going to be tough to prise Skriniar away.” However, the approach would depend on what the player’s situation is at Inter Milan. Skriniar wanted to join Spurs this summer because he was looking to play re...

Juve, however, went on to sign Alvaro Morata from Spanish side, Atletico Madrid. Gazzetta dello Sport also reports that Milik’s contract at Napoli expires in...

It is now reported that the Foxes are also interested in signing the 22-year-old, who has made 54 appearances for the Swans across all competitions.

Aston Villa’s new signing Ollie Watkins was keen on a move to Tottenham Hotspur during the early phase of the international transfer window, a report from Football Insider claims. The north London side were on the hunt for a back-up striker to Harry Kane at the end of last season and Watkins was one of the top names on their radar. However, a deal never materialised between Spurs and Brentford and Watkins ultimately made the move to the Villans last month on a club-record deal worth £28m.

Spurs host the Hammers in the Premier League next Sunday (October 18), and the Wales international is expected to feature having fully recovered since returning to North London during the summer transfer window.
