Tottenham Hotspur are keen on improving their defensive unit with the signing of Kyle Walker-Peters.
The 27-year-old England international will be out of contract at Southampton in the summer, and Tottenham are hoping to sign this month for a nominal price.
According to TBR Football, the player is valued at £8 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay for him.
Clubs like Crystal Palace and Leicester City are keen on the 27-year-old as well. Tottenham should look to act quickly if they want to get the deal done. The opportunity to return to his former club could be exciting for Walker-Peters. Tottenham have an exciting project and a talented squad. The defender might want to be a part of their project.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Southampton took to sell him for a reasonable price this month in order to avoid losing him on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Tottenham have looked vulnerable at the back this season, and they need to tighten up defensively. Walker-Peters is capable of operating on both flanks, and he will provide some much-needed depth to their defensive unit. His versatility will be an added bonus for the North London outfit.
Furthermore, he is well-settled in the Premier League and he could make an instant impact. He knows Tottenham well having played for them in the past, and he will look to hit the ground running if the move goes through. The defender has 3.7 ball recoveries and 2.4 clearances per game this season.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat the competition for his signature and get the deal across the line. The defender is at the peak of his career and signing him for a knockdown price could prove to be a superb bit of business.
