Tottenham Hotspur have a number of underlying issues at the moment.
After finishing 17th in the Premier League last season, the north London club have a few problems on their hands right now.
Cristian Romero’s future remains undecided, so Tottenham will have to address that issue, while Spurs continue to have problems regarding homegrown talents in the squad as they prepare to play in the Champions League next season.
Indeed, after selling the likes of Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks in recent years, Spurs don’t have tons of homegrown talents in their squad, but, luckily, help could be on the way.
According to Alasdair Gold, speaking on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast, Spurs are interested in re-signing Kyle Walker-Peters, and what’s more interesting is that the player would apparently love to sign for Spurs.
Kyle Walker-Peters would love to join Tottenham
Gold spoke about Walker-Peters and the idea of a potential return to Tottenham.
According to the journalist, Walker-Peters would love to re-sign for Tottenham, while Spurs are said to be considering a deal.
“The one I do believe they have considered for this summer is Kyle Walker-Peters,” Gold said.
“He’s had a terrific career, over 200 appearances for Southampton, a Premier League regular for a lot of that. I think he has a couple of England caps as well.
“On one side, the full-back spots are pretty busy right now, there are a lot of full-backs there, but as the window goes on, if he’s not been snapped up yet, I can see it as a clever solution, he’s club-trained, he can play on both sides, and from my understanding I think he would love to come back to Spurs as well, they’re his boyhood club.”
Former Tottenham academy players who could re-sign
Tottenham need to remedy their homegrown situation, and one way in which they could do that is by re-signing some of their former academy stars.
Of course, there’s a reason most of these players are no longer at Spurs, but, as depth options, a few of these players could still do a job for Tottenham.
Oliver Skipp, Dennis Cirkin and Troy Parrott are interesting options on this list, while, of course, re-signing Harry Kane would be a dream scenario for Tottenham.
Kane does have a release clause that comes into effect in his Bayern Munich contract at some point, so that is one to keep an eye on in the future.
Noni Madueke was on Spurs’ books at one point too, but as he left the club at the age of 16, he still wouldn’t qualify as homegrown.
Tottenham do need to fix this situation, and re-signing Walker-Peters could be a wise way to do just that.
