Kyle Walker-Peters wants Tottenham return
Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing 28-year-old English full-back Kyle Walker-Peters in a Bosman move this summer.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Kyle Walker-Peters will likely leave Southampton as a free agent in the summer transfer window. The English full-back has no shortage of suitors vying for his signature, with Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Tottenham Hotspur keen on signing him. Meanwhile, the player is keen on returning to the North London club in a Bosman move.
Kyle Walker-Peters and his Southampton story
Kyle Walker-Peters has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Southampton from Tottenham Hotspur in 2020. The Saints initially completed a loan deal for the London-born full-back before completing a permanent move in the subsequent summer transfer window.
The 28-year-old has turned out over 200 times thus far for Southampton while chipping in with seven goals and 12 assists. However, Walker-Peters is reaching the end of the line at St. Mary’s, as he has entered the final week of his contract with the Saints. Meanwhile, the English full-back has no shortage of suitors pursuing his signature, with Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Tottenham keen on signing him in the summer transfer window.
London return on the horizon?
Crystal Palace will likely dip into the market for a right-back in the summer transfer window after parting ways with Joel Ward. So, the Eagles have been scouring the market for a long-term replacement, with Walker-Peters emerging as a viable target for the South London club.
Meanwhile, Fulham’s interest in Kyle Walker-Peters is understandable. The Cottagers are keen on reinforcing their defensive unit by signing a right-back in the summer transfer window as Kenny Tete closes in on completing a Bosman move to Everton. So, the soon-to-be-free agent has emerged as a viable target for Fulham.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, it is unclear why Walker-Peters is a target for the North London club. With Djed Spence making his mark in the 2024/25 season, the Lilywhites already have two top-notch right-backs. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old Englishman is a target for Tottenham, with the player keen on rejoining them in the summer transfer window.
So, while Crystal Palace and Fulham have expressed their interest to Walker-Peters’s entourage, they face a tall order to beat Tottenham to his signature. So, it will be interesting to see where the English full-back plies his trade in the 2025/26 season.
