Daniel Levy did a fantastic job in addressing Mourinho’s concerns bringing in a new left full-back, a backup striker to Harry Kane, a third choice goalkeeper after Michel Vorm left the club this summer, a backup centre-back, a solid defensive midfielder, and a new right-back in Matt Doherty.
After a good start to life in North London as with many players leaving on international duties, Doherty also contracted the COVID-19 virus. Many players like Kai Havertz and Paul Pogba have talked about the difficulties in getting back in the best health and preparing for a competitive footballing fixture after contracting the virus. But the Irish International has now had plenty of time to make a comeback and a revival in Serge Aurier has not helped the case and apart from a mistake against Leicester City has arguably been one of the best full-backs in the league.
