Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in re-signing Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters on a free transfer this summer, according to CaughtOffside.
The Lilywhites are believed to be eyeing a low-cost deal to lure the 28-year-old back to North London as his contract at St Mary’s is expiring in just over two months.
Walker-Peters is among a host of Southampton stars expected to leave following their Premier League relegation, alongside Tyler Dibling, whom Spurs are also admirers of.
The 28-year-old has been a key player for the Saints this season, making 30 top-flight appearances and registering two assists for the league strugglers.
Spurs Keen on Kyle Walker-Peters
The 28-year-old is expected to leave Southampton
According to CaughtOffside, Tottenham are believed to be showing the strongest interest in Walker-Peters at the moment, although several top-flight clubs also have the Englishman on their radar.
The likes of Chelsea, West Ham, Fulham and Crystal Palace are all believed to be monitoring the 28-year-old, whose refusal to accept Southampton’s contract offer has put a host of clubs on red alert.
Walker-Peters spent three seasons with Tottenham’s senior team before joining Southampton in 2020, and made 24 appearances during his time in North London.
The two-cap England international, praised as a ‘beautiful footballer’, has yet to decide on his next move but is believed to be keen on a return to Spurs and ‘proving some people wrong’ there.
