Saints Favourites To Sign Spurs Full Back
The media are reporting that Kyle Walker Peters has had talks with several Premier League clubs including Saints and that we are his preferred destination.
Kyle Walker Peters has a price tag that is far higher than the number of games he has actually played for Spurs, but several clubs are prepared to meet it and both Roy Hodgson and Ralph Hasenhuttl are said to have met with the player in the last week.
It seems now that his preferred destination is St Mary's where ironically he could play this afternoon for Spurs with whom he has played only 5 times this season, the last appearance in the Premier League being back in August and only once since September that being almost 2 months ago.
A fee of £15 million could secure his signature and it could be that he will be swapping the away dressing room for the home one fairly quickly after 5 pm this aftenoon.
His arrival will cast a big shadow over the future of Yan Valery who a year ago seemed to have a bright future at the club but then lost favour with Ralph Hasenhuttl and then was said by the club to have a succession of injuries and illnesses to explain his absence suggesting that his lack of game time is due to something off the field rather than on it.
