On-loan defender Kyle Walker-Peters has told talkSPORT that he needs to add goals to his game to improve as a modern-day full-back.
The 23-year-old feels that attacking output is imperative to the position these days and wants to follow in the footsteps of idol Dani Alves.
“I’ve got a lot of assists. What I need to add to my game now is the goals.” ⚽️

That’s all well and good but before he adds goals to his game he needs to become a stronger defender if he wants to make it at Spurs.
KWP has been exposed as too lightweight and weak in one-on-one situations when he has had his rare first-team opportunities.
It’s not his attacking game I’d have concerns about, and I’d imagine Jose Mourinho thinks the same way about the Southampton loanee.

Good attitude, you can improve at any age. Work on his strength, he won’t be the first or last player to be told he’s too small and prove people wrong. Billy Bremner was turned down by Celtic and Liverpool as being too small.
Kwp was one of clasford sterling MBE youts here on the broad water farm team. He was a quiet lad. Shame he never made it at spurs. MOTM on his debut vs Newcastle I think. I hope he does well elsewhere and comes back to see us here on the bw farm. Good luck son.
