Kyle Walker-Peters is coming to the end of his time as a Tottenham player as he edges closer to a permanent transfer to Southampton.
The young Englishman hasn’t featured for the Lilywhites for much of Jose Mourinho’s reign, and he joined Southampton on loan in the last transfer window.
He struggled to break into the Saints’ first-team initially, but he got his breakthrough after the restart of the Premier League and they have been impressed enough to want to sign him permanently.
Mirror Sports claims that he agreed to personal terms for the move this morning and that the transfer will be confirmed next week.
Both teams are waiting for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to pass his medical for a move to Spurs before they announce the transfer.
The Danish midfielder has been a top transfer target for Mourinho for some time now, and he will join the Lilywhites after they had a bid finally accepted by Southampton.
This transfer of Walker-Peters will be sad for some fans who had high hopes for the 23-year-old but it is probably for the best considering his playing opportunities had become limited at Spurs.
The young full-back was seen as an heir to Kyle Walker when he moved to Manchester City, but it hasn’t happened that way and he will hope that he can become an established Premier League name at Southampton.
Same. Sad to see him go, had hoped he would kick on.. This is the reality of the typical Levy acadamy product.. Not the 40 or 50 million worth players he spouted on about. Ours are like tom carroll, ryan mason, onumah, kwp… 15 million boys…… Benficas acadamy pumps out players worth 50 -100 million plus. Our acadamy wants sorting out. A great one is essential for a club like us who dont spend.
I for one is sad to see the departure of KWP. After his FA cup replay goal against Rochdale I had high hopes for the nice lad as I did with Ryan Fredericks but alas not to be.
Having destroyed Spurs and out classed Chelsea over the 2 legs, one team I enjoy watching worthy of gracing our new stadium is Bayern Munich. Containing (world class players, world class being the operative word)!, comprising Mueller, Thiago, Kingsly Coeman, Davis, Gnabry, Boateng plus the prolific Lewandowski etc etc a class act. Never always happens but hope they go on to win the CL this season as would be deserving fitting champs. Listening to the match on Radio 5 live they executed the pressing game to perfection in the first half with lots of runners off the ball.
