Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters continues to be linked with a return to his former club, Tottenham Hotspur.
He will be a free agent soon, and he has decided not to sign an extension with Southampton. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to bring him back to the club.
He is a versatile fullback who is capable of operating on either flank, and he could be a very useful player for Tottenham. They will compete in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they need a deeper squad with more quality. The 28-year-old could be the ideal option for them.
Signing a player of his experience and quality on a free transfer could prove to be a masterstroke.
Kyle Walker-Peters would fancy a return
Meanwhile, Alasdair Gold has now suggested that the player would love to return to his boyhood club. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks. Gold claims that the 28-year-old has had an impressive career, and he has mostly been a Premier League regular.
The journalist said on the Gold & Guest Podcast: “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.”
Tottenham need signings
Tottenham had a disappointing Premier League campaign last year, and they finished just above the relegation zone. They will look to put things right next year, and signing quality players will help them bounce back strongly.
Players with a strong track record in the Premier League could prove to be ideal additions for the London outfit. On a free transfer, it would be a no-risk acquisition. Furthermore, the player knows the club well, and he might be able to make an instant impact.
