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

Walker-Peters was a standout player for the Saints last season, even with the arrival of Tino Livramento last summer.
Twenty-three of his 37 appearances last season were actually left-backs, which could make him a better option for Spurs boss Antonio Conte, knowing he could deploy him on either side of the defence.
It remains to be seen if the Italian has any interest in bringing Walker-Peters back to north London, especially given his options as a fullback, and with the Spurs getting closer to signing Middlesbrough’s Djed Spence.
