Tottenham Hotspur face competition from two London rivals for Kyle Walker-Peters, but the Lilywhites are optimistic about their chances of re-signing the right-back after making contact with the player.
It was first reported by Alasdair Gold a few days ago that Spurs are eyeing a move to re-sign Walker-Peters, who is available on a free transfer after his contract at Southampton ran out.
While some Tottenham fans are not enthusiastic about the club’s interest in Walker-Peters, signing the England international will allow Spurs to address their shortage of homegrown and club-trained players.
The Lilywhites have now received a major boost in their efforts to bring the 28-year-old back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Tottenham academy graduate is seen as someone who can provide competition to the likes of Pedro Porro, Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie.
