Spurs are reportedly interested in bringing Kyle Waker-Peters back to Hotspur Way, five years after he departed, but they have yet to make an actual bid for the defender.
Ange Postecoglou is expected to sign a new right-back this summer following Di Marzio’s report on Tuesday (2/7/24) that Tottenham and AC Milan will meet this week in an attempt to thrash out a deal for Emerson Royal.
Although Tottenham have already announced the signing of Archie Gray, in the player’s first interview with the club he admitted he ideally sees himself as a midfielder, despite the 18-year-old being deployed at right-back for most of the season at Leeds United. (Spurs Official)
Tottenham have reportedly been looking at bringing back their former academy graduate, Kyle Walker-Peters, for some time now with HITC revealing in late May that Spurs even have a buy-back clause expected to be worth in the region of £30 million.
A report from Fabrizio Romano on Wednesday stated that Brighton were the first out of a host of interested clubs to make steps towards signing Walker-Peters from newly promoted Southampton.
Brighton have reportedly enquired about the Englishman who was on the seaside club’s radar ‘for some months’.
Tottenham’s London rivals, West Ham, are also pushing for the former Spur with The Irons investigating the possibility of including Flynn Downes in a deal, who spent the last campaign on loan with The Saints.
Tottenham have apparently been monitoring Walker-Peters as he would ‘tick several boxes’, in particular the fact that he is homegrown, but there hasn’t been any bid or talks as of yet.

It was a shame when Walker-Peters left the club as he was a player who was extremely exciting to watch when first breaking through as a youngster under Mauricio Pochettino, but the move to Southampton has undoubtedly developed his career with him being possibly the best right-back in the second-tier last season.
If Walker-Peters was perhaps available for a little less than the rumoured £30 million buy-back clause it would be a very sensible deal to get done with Tottenham clearly requiring more homegrown players as well as a second-choice right-back with the expected departure of Emerson Royal this summer.
