Big Kyle Walker-Peters confirmation as Tottenham push ahead with free talks

As Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to push ahead with talks over the free signing of Kyle Walker-Peters, his club, Southampton, have just made a confirmation about the right-back’s future.

It was first reported by Alasdair Gold nearly a week ago that Spurs are eyeing a move to re-sign Walker-Peters, who is expected to leave the Saints this summer when his contract runs out.

Since then, the transfer saga has moved very fast, with reports indicating that Walker-Peters has signalled an intention to return to Tottenham.

The same update explained that a return to N17 has emerged as a ‘serious possibility’ for the experienced full-back, with Thomas Frank’s men believing he can offer competition to Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro and Djed Spence.

Southampton have now confirmed the inevitable, announcing that the 28-year-old will depart St Mary’s when his contract runs out next month.

There was never any suggestion that he was going to sign a new deal at the club following their relegation, but the South Coast side have now finalised that his five-and-a-half-year stay has indeed come to an end.
