Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker-Peters could be leaving this month.
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker-Peters will cost around £12million as he seeks first-team football elsewhere.
It’s claimed that Southampton are front-runners for Walker-Peters this month, but Spurs won’t be letting him go on the cheap.
Spurs seemingly want around £12million for Walker-Peters, and it’s now up to Southampton or any other side to get close to that valuation.
Spurs allegedly want a new full back to come in once Walker-Peters goes, with a replacement at right back surely the priority for Jose Mourinho and co.
Mourinho has only picked Walker-Peters once, starting him away at Bayern Munich last month, so it’s clear that the 22-year-old needs to move on and play games.
A loan move may have been ideal, but Spurs may choose to sell up now and reinvest the cash in a replacement, given their issues at right back.
Serge Aurier needs competition with Mourinho seemingly not a fan of Walker-Peters, and a £12million fee may go towards a bid for somebody like Nathan Ferguson or Max Aarons.
It won’t be easy for Walker-Peters to leave Spurs after so long at the club, but a move to play regularly at Southampton would be perfect right now, as he’s in danger of stalling his career at Tottenham.
