Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters could return to Tottenham this summer.
Tottenham are in dire need of reinforcements after such a strenuous campaign last time out, and with Champions League football to attend to, they need depth.
Dennis Cirkin has been linked to satisfy those needs, as well as providing another homegrown option for the squad registration, and Walker-Peters is in a similar boat.
The former Spurs academy prospect is set to be on the move from Southampton after their relegation from the Premier League, and a move to Tottenham could be on the cards.
Walker-Peters to seal Tottenham return
While Tottenham will be intent on strengthening their starting 11, considerations also need to be made for those to come in and feature from time to time, and Walker-Peters would make a lot of sense.

His versatility is a key factor, but also the fact that he is now available on a free transfer has seen Paul Robinson highlight the positives behind the potential deal.
Asked if the deal makes sense for Spurs, Robinson exclusively told Tottenham News: “Yeah. I think he ticks a lot of boxes for Tottenham as he can play either side and he can play in the wing-back roles, so with Thomas Frank’s versatility and flexibility with his formations gives him an option.
“Spurs have Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, and then Walker-Peters. You give me the choice of two out of the three, Walker-Peters doesn’t play.
“However, we know with the Champions League, with all the extra games that they’re going to have next season, it’s going to be more of a squad game than it’s been in a long time for Tottenham.
“So a player like that would bolster the squad, and on a free, it would make a lot of sense for Tottenham.”
Frank must avoid repeating Ange Postecoglou shortcoming
Ange Postecoglou didn’t fail because of injuries; he failed because of his inability to adapt to the cards he was dealt, and Frank must avoid doing the same.
Tottenham could be in line for a major change under his stewardship, though to fulfil that, the signing of new depth will be paramount.
