Tottenham ready to offer £8m defender the chance to return to Spurs on a free transfer
TBR Football exclusively understands that Tottenham are ready to offer Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters a route back to the club.
The England international has played 21 times for the Saints in the Premier League this season, a campaign that has transpired to be a disappointing one.
However, with just six-months left on his contract, it currently doesn’t appear that Walker-Peters will be playing Championship football at St Mary’s next season, a defender who is ready to leave on a free transfer.

That being said, TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Walker-Peters has just rejected a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Galatasaray were ready to meet Southampton’s £8m asking price for the 27-year-old, but Walker-Peters has shunned the chance to move to Istanbul this month.
Southampton are looking to sell, knowing that Walker-Peters is ready to leave for nothing in the summer once his contract expires.
Crystal Palace are also known to be interested, but it is believed that Walker-Peters’ former club Tottenham are ready to offer him a return to north London in the summer.
Walker-Peters said: “Pochettino, the manager at the time, had his plan for me and ultimately I think his plan was a success.
“He always said that one day I would play for Tottenham regularly and he often gave me the opportunity to play.
“With Mourinho coming in, I knew what he wanted. We had various conversations, which was the great thing about Mourinho – he was extremely honest.
“He never forced me out of the club. He never said ‘I don’t want you’, he just gave me a decision.
