Report: Southampton want Kyle Walker-Peters on loan

Southampton are reportedly lining up a loan deal for Tottenham Hotspur youngster Kyle Walker-Peters.

The 21-year-old, who is behind fellow full-backs Serge Aurier and Keiran Trippier in the Spurs pecking order, could be allowed to leave the club on loan by Mauricio Pochettino.

The Sun says that Saints boss Mauricio Pellegrino, who wants cover for Cedric Soares, has identified Walker-Peters as his first-choice option.

Walker-Peters made his Spurs debut in a win over Newcastle United at the beginning of the season, but his only other Premier League appearance this term was against Huddersfield Town.

The full-back recently signed a new contract with Tottenham until 2020.
