Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Kyle Walker-Peters, and the player wants to join them this summer.
According to a report from GMS, the 28-year-old full-back is keen on a return to his former club. He will be a free agent soon, and signing him on a bargain would be a wise decision.
Spurs could use more depth
Tottenham need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the 28-year-old would be a useful acquisition. He has proven himself in the Premier League, despite Southampton’s relegation last season. He was excellent against Tottenham in April, and he won 11 duels and five tackles during the game.
The defender has been linked with other English clubs as well, but he wants to return to his former club. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can secure an agreement with him quickly.
The player knows the league well, and he has played for Tottenham in the past. He should be able to settle quickly and make an instant impact if he joins the club.
Kyle Walker-Peters wants Spurs move
A player of his quality will want to compete at the highest level. Joining a Premier League club will be ideal for him. He will not want to compete in the second division of English football with Southampton next season. In addition to that, Tottenham will be able to provide him with Champions League football. They have recently won a European trophy, and they will be an attractive destination for players.
It will be interesting to see how they accommodate him in the starting lineup. Tottenham already have players like Pedro Porro and Djed Spence. It remains to be seen whether the 28-year-old is willing to accept the role of a squad player. Regular starts might be hard to come by for him.
