Republic of Ireland international right-back Matt Doherty is Tottenham Hotspur’s latest signing this summer after moving from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a four-year deal.

Tottenham’s media team reckoned they could use the tweet to take a dig at their bitter North London rivals, and they produced a video in which Doherty was filmed deleting the post.
