NEWS NOW: A statement on the club’s official website said: “Spurs Football Club is completely devastated to announce that a star player has passed away at the age of 29
Spurs have added Timo Werner and Archie Gray to their ranks this summer and Ange Postecoglou seems eager to add more profiles.
With up to 10 players potentially leaving, it’s expected to be a busy window for the Australian head coach, who’s keen on right-back.
Emerson Royal looks set to depart for AC Milan, so the club are now working on finding a replacement.
That said, a Premier League manager is now concerned that his full-back may leave after being linked with a move to North London.
Russell Martin concerned Kyle Walker-Peters will leave
TBR exclusively reported earlier this week that Southampton right-back Kyle Walker-Peters is the preferred option to replace Emerson, should he leave for Milan.
Of course, Walker-Peters, labelled as ‘unbelievable’ via TEAMtalk, is formerly of Tottenham and would likely welcome a return to the club should an offer arrive.
Saints boss Russell Martin admitted that he is concerned about his future with his contract due to expire next summer.
“Discussions are ongoing and they will be for a while. He had a great season,” Martin said, via the Daily Echo.
“When a player is in the final year of their contract it’s a tricky scenario really. We will try to keep him, but then, ideally, nobody leaves the building for nothing at the end of the season.”
He continued: “With Kyle, we are in that position. We will have to wait and see. I will keep my fingers crossed that he is still here.”
West Ham also interested in Kyle Walker-Peters
Tottenham face competition for Walker-Peters’ signature from London rivals West Ham United, who are continuing their squad overhaul under the newly-appointed manager Julen Lopetegui.
The Hammers are exploring a swap deal, with Flynn Downes potentially heading the other way plus a £10m fee.
