As the current season nears its end, Tottenham Hotspur is already setting its sights on preparations for the upcoming season. With a wave of departures expected and new faces poised to arrive, the club is actively targeting key positions to bolster its squad.
The transfer window will see Tottenham focusing on securing a couple of attacking talents, including a pure striker, a midfielder, a center-back, and a fresh full-back.
The pressing issue for Tottenham lies in the full-back department. The club is grappling with injuries sidelining all their left-backs currently. While Destiny Udogie is set to return next season, the imminent departures of Ryan Sessegnon and Ben Davies will leave the Italian as the sole option on the left flank.
On the right side, Pedro Porro has emerged as a linchpin under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou. However, Emerson Royal, struggling to make an impact under Ange, is poised for a summer exit, creating a void that needs to be addressed.
Rumors have surfaced connecting Spurs with their former defender, Kyle Walker-Peters, currently plying his trade at Southampton. Club insider and lawyer John Wenham is confident that the English right-back would eagerly entertain the idea of reuniting with the Lilywhites.
Walker-Peters has been a mainstay for Southampton under manager Russell Martin, featuring in 45 Championship matches this season and contributing with goals and assists. With his contract at St Mary’s Stadium set to expire soon, a move back to Tottenham could prove to be an enticing prospect for the dynamic full-back.
John Wenham believes that Tottenham’s stature as a significantly larger club compared to Southampton would offer Walker-Peters a bigger stage and more exposure. The strategic career advantages, including a potential route back into the England national team setup, are further enticing factors for the defender.
Ange Postecoglou is keen on bolstering his full-back options, especially with the ongoing injuries to Udogie and the expected departure of Royal. Walker-Peters’ versatility in playing on either side of the defense makes him a valuable target for Tottenham, providing the much-needed depth and reliability in defense.
