Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been linked with a move for their former defender Kyle Walker-Peters.
A report by Give Me Sport has claimed that Tottenham are now plotting a move for Kyle Walker-Peters heading into the summer transfer window, and he could cost around £30 million. The North London club inserted a buyback clause in his contract when they sold him to Southampton.
They will be able to re-sign the 26-year-old right-backs for £30 million in the summer transfer window. Walker-Peters has been linked with Chelsea as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to pay up for him.
The 26-year-old is a versatile defender who is capable of operating as a full-back on both flanks. He will add defensive cover and help out in the attack as well. He is currently playing for Southampton in the EFL Championship, and the opportunity to return to the Premier League could be an exciting one for him.
The defender might feel that he has unfinished business at his boyhood club, and a return to Tottenham will be hard to turn down. There is no doubt that the North London outfit have the financial resources to sign the player, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Kyle Walker-Peters could be tempted to return
Tottenham have put together an exciting squad, but they need more options at their disposal to compete with the Premier League elite. Kyle Walker-Peters knows the league well and should be able to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact. He could prove to be an upgrade on Emerson Royal in the coming seasons.
Tottenham are currently pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification, and it will be interesting to see if they can finish in the top four. They need to secure European qualification to attract quality players.
Meanwhile, Walker-Peters is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to compete at the highest level. Joining a club with European football in the Premier League would be too good an opportunity to pass up on. He will hope that the two clubs can secure an agreement in the coming months.
