Tottenham were forced to rip up Matt Doherty’s contract to allow him to join Atletico Madrid due to a new FIFA rule. Doherty has joined the La Liga club on a free transfer following a huge twist of events on deadline day. 

Earlier on Tuesday, the wing-back seemed destined to join Atletico in a loan deal. However, Spurs surprisingly announced later in the evening that Doherty’s contract had been terminated by mutual consent.
