Transfer rumours for the summer show no signs of slowing down, and neither do Tottenham Hotspur.
Let’s not forget that there are still months to go before the summer transfer window opens.
However, these kinds of reports keep emerging, so before diving into the main topic, here are some related updates.
It was recently revealed that Spurs are in a strong position to sign a striker from Juventus and, meanwhile, reports have emerged claiming that the North London club attempted a last-minute move for Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez during the previous transfer window.
At the same time, Tottenham are locked in a battle—one Newcastle could win—for Brentford FC forward Bryan Mbeumo.
Now, new reports suggest that Spurs have set their sights on Kyle Walker-Peters, a former player of the club, as a potential signing.
Leeds United set to hijack Kyle Walker-Peters deal
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are not the only club interested in the Southampton FC defender.
Leeds United are reportedly keen on securing his services, as they see Walker-Peters as a player who could strengthen their squad.
The report also states that Leeds had previously shown interest in the defender but backed away due to Southampton's £7 million asking price.
On top of that, Spurs will have to fend off competition from other clubs, including Everton and Leicester City, who are also eyeing Walker-Peters.
Tottenham could secure a return for their former defender
The right-back appears open to leaving his current club, and Tottenham seem eager to seize the opportunity to bring him back.
Reports from previous weeks have indicated that Ange Postecoglou and his team are keen on reinforcing the full-back positions, which could give Walker-Peters the chance to establish himself as a regular starter.
So far this season (2024/25), Kyle Walker-Peters has started 23 matches, contributing two assists and securing two clean sheets.
It remains to be seen how this transfer saga unfolds in the coming months.
For now, Tottenham must focus their energy on their next fixture against Ipswich this Saturday, 22nd February.
