West Ham United will have to cough up £20 million to sign 27-year-old English full-back Kyle Walker-Peters from Southampton in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by The Times, Kyle Walker-Peters is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers are keen on signing a right-back in the summer transfer window and now know how much they must cough up to sign the English full-back. Southampton will demand around £20 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
How has Kyle Walker-Peters fared at Southampton?
Kyle Walker-Peters has been a solid performer since joining Southampton from Tottenham Hotspur. A native of London, the Englishman graduated from the youth division at Tottenham before breaking into the first-team squad at the onset of the 2017/18 season.
Meanwhile, Southampton initially signed Walker-Peters on loan in January 2020 before completing a permanent transfer in the subsequent summer transfer window. The 27-year-old has turned out over 150 times thus far for the Saints while chipping in with six goals and nine assists.
However, the English full-back faces an uncertain future at St. Mary’s after entering the final 12 months of his contract with Southampton. The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs, particularly in the Premier League. West Ham United are one of his prospective suitors in the summer transfer window.
London return on the cards?
West Ham United’s interest in Kyle Walker-Peters is understandable. The Hammers have been scouring the market for a right-back heading into the summer transfer window after losing Ben Johnson as a free agent. In addition, Vladimir Coufal is on the wrong side of 30.
So, it behoves West Ham to invest in a right-back, with several candidates, including Noussair Mazraoui, emerging as targets. However, the Hammers have bowed out of the race to sign the Moroccan international, forcing them to set their sights on alternatives like Walker-Peters. They now know how much it will take to sign the English full-back.
Southampton will demand around £20 million to part ways with the 27-year-old Englishman in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if West Ham will meet the asking price and cough up £20 million to make Walker-Peters the right-back reinforcement.
