Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge has told Football FanCast there have been murmurings about a possible late deadline day move to Everton for Matt Doherty.

Doherty joined Tottenham from Wolves last summer in a £15m deal, but failed to show the kind of form that made him one of the best attacking full-backs in the Premier League at Molineux.

He did make 13 starts in the league last season but has already slipped behind Japhet Tanganga in the right-back pecking order despite reuniting with Nuno Espirito Santo following his appointment in north London.

Doherty hasn't started a league game this season, playing just seven minutes overall, with the Conference League likely to be his best pathway for regular minutes.

Emerson Royal's arrival is expected to reduce Doherty's chances even further of breaking into Santo's side, and therefore Bridge revealed that a shock move to Everton could be on the cards.

He told Football FanCast:

"I've not heard anything yet, but there have been murmurings of Everton, but I don't know if there's anything in it. But I do wonder if he's been touted about, and a club might go 'well give him a go'."
