Tottenham: £74k-a-week star has 'genuine chance' of key role at Hotspur Way

Tottenham‘s Matt Doherty has a “genuine chance” of enjoying a long run in the team, according to journalist Paul Brown. The £74,000 per-week star had found himself on the bench for every game before Antonio Conte finally picked him from the off at Brighton last week.

Having struggled after recovering from a knee injury sustained at Aston Villa in April, the former Wolves man hardly had a look in during the opening few months of the season.wing In fact, prior to the north London derby, his only game-time came as a late substitute against Southampton on the opening day.

But with Djed Spence still not being considered by Conte, Emerson Royal's red card in the defeat at Arsenal has given Doherty the perfect chance to impress.

And Doherty has done exactly that, playing the 90 minutes in the wins over Brighton and Everton, which might see him overtake the Brazilian in the right wing-back pecking order.
