Revealed: Southampton brace for 27-year-old bids this month
Yesterday at 01:00 PM
Southampton are braced for cut-price bids for out-of-contract full-back Kyle Walker-Peters this month, sources have told Football Insider.
The 27-year-old is out of contract at St Mary’s Stadium in June after joining on an initial loan five years ago.
Walker-Peters is not set to renew that deal with Southampton set for a second Premier League relegation in three seasons.
The Saints sit bottom of the table on six points and are on course for the worst-ever Premier League campaign.
This window presents the last chance for Southampton to cash in on Walker-Peters – who will attract interest before the 3 February deadline.
Tottenham and West Ham are among the sides to previously admire the full-back, while Leicester City have recently been linked with a potential swoop.
However, interested clubs won’t pay a massive fee for the England international – who will be available for nothing in the summer.
Southampton could accept cut-price Walker-Peters offer
Walker-Peters’ versatility makes him an attractive option for clubs across the top flight and abroad – where he can already sign a pre-contract ahead of a free transfer switch in the off-season.
The 27-year-old has made 18 Premier League appearances this term, notching two assists.
He has played on both sides of the defence for the Saints, who have won just one top-flight game this term.
Walker-Peters has amassed 185 appearances for the club in total, scoring seven and assisting 11.
He made two appearances for England against Switzerland and the Ivory Coast in March 2022.
