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.
