Tottenham Hotspur youngster is yet to feature under Jose Mourinho.
Tottenham Hotspur youngster Kyle Walker-Peters is nearing a crossroads for his career at the club.
He has not featured in any games under Jose Mourinho, following on from a similar disappointment under former boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Serge Aurier’s terrible display against Manchester United in midweek should, in theory, open the door for Walker-Peters.
The young right-back made the bench against West Ham and Bournemouth, but not against Olympiakos and Manchester United.
If he can’t get into the 18 at the weekend against Burnley then it could be all over for him.
Aurier took a big backwards step this week and showed that despite his attacking improvement, his defensive naivety still remains.
The right-back situation is problematic for Spurs, but Jose Mourinho owes Walker-Peters a proper chance.
The problem for the England under-20 World Cup winner is that the opportunity he wants might not come at all.
If Mourinho isn’t willing to give himself an additional option against Burnley this weekend, and leaves him out of the squad again, then Walker-Peters’ prospects look bleak.
