Micah Richards has claimed that Matt Doherty is 'on his way out' of the club following an unimpressive display at the north London derby. The 31-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Tottenham, with his contract set to expire in 18 months.
Doherty has featured 15 times for Spurs this season, directly contributing towards just one goal from right wing-back. Opportunities have been relatively hard to come by amid competition with Emerson Royal but, even when called upon, the Irishman's performances have cast doubt over his long-term prospects at N17.
So much so that Antonio Conte is said to be in the market for a new right-back this month. football.london understands that the Italian has has two priorities this month; to sign a new attacking player and a right wing-back.
