Report: Tottenham player 'close to joining' PL rival club this week - originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to reports from the Birmingham Mail, Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker-Peters is ‘close to joining’ Southampton in the January transfer window.
The 22-year-old has made only three Premier League starts, and played once in the Champions League this season for Tottenham this season.
While the Saints are yet to agree a deal for the right-back, it looks like they’re close to sealing a loan deal till the end of the season. And it is expected to be completed before Friday’s deadline.
He has failed to cement down his position in the side and is currently not in Jose Mourinho’s plans. The north London club are ready to let him go out on loan, with Southampton close to signing him.
According to reports from The Sun, Crystal Palace are also in the hunt for his signature, but it seems the youngster is heading towards St Mary’s instead.
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has spoken publicly about his desire to sign a full-back this month, and Walker-Peters would be a decent addition to the side.
He can also play at left-back, making him an even more useful signing.
