Matt Doherty insists he never considered leaving Tottenham in January.
Things looked bleak for him, especially as Spurs were chasing a new right wing-back in the January transfer window, but the prospect of leaving never entered his mind.
“I didn't come close (to leaving), I never had a conversation, nothing was ever said to me," he said.
“From my point of view I was led to believe that I wasn't going anywhere. I don't know if that's the case, that is what my point of view was.
“You have thoughts at times that it wasn't working out, I just decided that I wanted to train hard and I wanted to play here.
“Why would I want to go anywhere apart from Tottenham?
“I thought if I keep training hard and I keep doing what the manager wants the opportunity would come and it would be up to me to grasp the opportunity and at the moment I seem to be doing that well."
