Darren Bent comments on Tottenham summer signing Matt Doherty

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.
