Tottenham have a £30m buyback clause on Southampton full-back Kyle Walker-Peters

Tottenham reportedly have a £30million buyback clause on Southampton right-back Kyle Walker-Peters, that they could opt to trigger.

The 25-year-old, who joined Southampton from Spurs just two years ago, remains under contract with the Saints until the summer of 2025.

There has, however, been no progress on a contract extension for Walker-Peters with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United monitoring the situation as the defender is on their list of possible targets.

The two-cap England international was even linked with Everton last week as a target this summer, but despite firm admiration their financial problems would make Goodison Park an unrealistic destination for now.

Despite interest from all of those clubs, Spurs are thought to be in the driving seat, as they put a £30m buy-back clause in the agreement that saw Walker-Peters switch to Southampton for £12m back in 2020, according to The Athletic.

The same report suggests that Southampton are not actively looking to sell Walker-Peters, but they could opt to cash in on him if they cannot find any progress in the current contract stand-off between the two parties.

Walker-Peters was a stand-out performer for the Saints last season, even with the arrival of Tino Livramento last summer.

Twenty three of his 37 appearances last season actually came at left-back, which could make him a better option for Spurs boss Antonio Conte, knowing that he could deploy him on either side of the defensive line.

It remains to be seen whether the Italian has any interest in bringing Walker-Peters back…
