Matt Doherty reveals just how skilful Tottenham target Rayan Ait-Nouri is in Wolves training
Doherty 💎is the latest guest on Sky Sports’ Sticker Book Challenge, in which guests have to make their top pick out of four options.
When it came to a teammate’s skill🐼 he wishes he had, he opted𓆏 for Ait-Nouri’s flair ahead of the other options.
Doherty then shared just how skilful Ait-Nouri is in training, admitting 💫he and his teammates are often in awe of him.
𓄧“His flair,” he began. “Some of the things he does in games, but there’s times in training where you’re like in boxes and you’re like walking with your legs closed, you don’t even want to go near him!
“His flair for sure I would swap✃… when we we played Liverpool away, and when I watched it back, you could hear Jamie Carragher go on about his the footwork he had.
“And this was like 80 minutes in so he’s obvi🅺ously been waꦏtching it the whole game. It was just unbelievable, so to see some of the things that he would see – unbelievable.”
What Rayan Ait-Nouri could bring to Tottenham
It’s not surprising to see T💫ottenham being linked with Ait-Nouri, given how good he has been for Wolves.
A♍it-Nouri is vers♋atile enough to be able to play as a left-winger, a right-winger, and even as a No. 10 or a centre-back.
I꧑ndeed, he has been great in attack, so he could com🔥plement or even cover for Son Heung-min further up the pitch.

Former teammate Con🍸or Coad𒀰y previously said Ait-Nouri has “bags of tricks” and is “brilliant to have around”.
Meanwhile, pundit Ally McCoist said Ait-Nouri is capable of producing “ridiculous” aওnd “majestic” passes.
With Ait-Nou𝔉ri’s contract running until 2026 – albeit with a year’s option – Wolves’ hand may not overly strong ✱in negotiations.
However, Tottenham could have competition. Arsenal have been linked with Ait-Nouri, while Manchester United are a✤lso reportedly keen on Ait-Nouri.
