According to talkSPORT, Tottenham Hotspur have informed Matt Doherty that he is free to leave the club this summer.
Spurs are said to be hopeful of strengthening at right wing-back with the addition of Middlesbrough’s Djed Spence over the coming days (Evening Standard).
Previous reports have indicated that Spence is expected to compete with Doherty for the right wing-back spot next season, with Emerson Royal potentially leaving the club (Football.London).
The Brazilian is said to be attracting interest from the likes of Atletico Madrid (Sky Sports), AS Roma (Express) and Juventus (CalcioMercatoWeb) this summer.
However, some reports over the last couple of weeks have suggested that Tottenham have no intention of selling the former Real Betis man (Ekrem Konur).
TalkSPORT have now suggested that Tottenham would be willing to sell Doherty rather than Emerson this summer.
The report asserts that the Republic of Ireland international has already been informed that he is not part of Antonio Conte’s plans for the upcoming season.
Spurs Web Opinion
Most journalists who are well connected with Spurs have indicated that Emerson is more likely to leave than Doherty is.
That makes more sense as the former Wolves man seems like a much better fit for the wing-back role than the Brazilian.
The other possibility is that Tottenham could sell both Doherty and Emerson, and sign another right-back apart from Spence, which seems unlikely.
