Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Southampton defender, Kyle Walker-Peters.

According to journalist Graeme Bailey, they are hoping to bring the 28-year-old back to the club at the end of the season. He will be out of contract this summer, and he could be signed as a free agent.

Tottenham have already been in touch with the player, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Tottenham have been in contact

Speaking to Leeds United News, Bailey said: “I’m told no decision just yet. Leeds have had contact, but as we know they’re one of many clubs to be in touch with him. West Ham, Spurs, Everton… there’s loads. And some foreign clubs are lurking too. Can Leeds get him? Of course. But from what I can make out it’s going to be tough.”

Spurs could use more depth in the defensive unit, especially with Pedro Porro being linked with an exit. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to sell the Spanish defender in the summer.

Kyle Walker-Peters would be a useful addition

Walker-Peters knows the club well, and he could prove to be a useful acquisition. He has proven himself in the Premier League with Southampton, and he has the quality to play for Tottenham. Signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a wise decision. It would allow them to invest in the other areas of their squad and improve the team.

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old could be attracted to the idea of returning to his boyhood club as well. It would be an excellent opportunity for him, and he would get to fight at a higher level with them.

Tottenham are in the final of the UEFA Europa League, and they will be hoping to win the tournament and qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. It remains to be seen whether they can finish the season strongly and attract quality players in the summer.
