Southampton star could annoy boyhood club soon by joining London rivals | OneFootball

Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters' has been a renowned Tottenham academy product. But, in a turn of events, he might frustrate the Spurs if his recent West Ham rumors prove true.

Southampton's winter transfer window can be split studied in two parts, pure chaos, and transfers. In just over a month, the Saints faced enough to make it an infamous anecdote for the fans.

Be it the Shea Charles move or Dibling's shocking transfer talks, Southampton kept everyone engaged all the time. But talking of chaos, the discussion seems lacking without this mention.

Yes, the strange case of Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters.

Though Southampton entered the winter window, prioritizing a transfer for him, they couldn't succeed. As a result, now under six months of contract, Walker-Peters is set to leave for free in the summer.

Clearly, Southampton's helplessness in the situation has cost them some cut price fee for Walker-Peters. But, they might not be the only ones affected if the defender moves away.

Who can be the other one? Well, it could be his former club, Tottenham. This comes after the 27-year-old has centered attraction from Spurs' London rivals West Ham.

Interestingly, Walker-Peters makes the Hammers' reinforcements list for the upcoming summer window.

As quoted by GiveMeSport, a club insider confirmed West Ham's interest, praising the defender: "Kyle Walker-Peters is another who we could be tempted by, he is a versatile defender and can be in both full back positions.”

Know what comes harder than defeat? It's betrayal from known faces. In case, Walker-Peters accepts a London switch, he would make Tottenham feel exactly how Russell Martin suffered recently.

But, while the player's future destination arouses intrigue, it doesn't change Southampton's situation.

Whatever happens, one thing's certain, Southampton has messed up again. Primarily, not on some cut price fee for Walker-Peters, but for a player who has been a gem for them all along.

Honestly, Southampton's goof-ups have been pretty annoying lately. Still, the hope remains that things improve ahead.
