Tottenham are exploring the possibility of re-signing Kyle Walker-Peters this summer, according to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs.

Antonio Conte has enjoyed a productive transfer window to date, adding five new players to his squad, although he's yet to sign a right wing-back, with the Southampton star emerging as a shock option.

What's the latest news involving Walker-Peters?

According to The Athletic, when Spurs sold the 25-year-old to Saints two years ago they included a £30m buyback clause in the deal, which could see the north Londoners bring him back to N17.

However, the report claims that both Arsenal and Manchester United have Walker-Peters on their list of right-back targets.

Following a successful loan spell in the Covid-hit 2019-2020 season, the defender has gone on to make 82 appearances in all competitions for Southampton, having established himself as a regular under Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Such is Walker-Peters' impressive form, he was rewarded with his first England cap against Switzerland back in March before making his first international start in the win over Ivory Coast three days later.

And Jacobs reckons that both north London clubs have entered the race for Walker-Peters, who he describes as a "tremendous player".

What did Jacobs say about Walker-Peters?

He told GIVEMESPORT: "Arsenal are keeping tabs on Walker-Peters, but nothing beyond that at this stage. Tottenham are exploring re-signing Walker-Peters from Southampton.

"I think whoever lands him will land a tremendous player. He was one of the best right-backs in the Premier League last season."

How did Walker-Peters perform last term?

Despite the arrival of Tino Livramento forcing Walker-Peters to spend much of the campaign at left-back, with 23 of his 36 outings coming there, the Three Lions star was still one of Southampton's top performers.

According to WhoScored, he was their fourth-best player in the Premier League, with a rating of 6.83.

Walker-Peters showed how effective he can be at both ends of the pitch by averaging 1.8 tackles per match, which was the fourth-best in the Saints squad, while his 1.2 average interceptions every time he took to the pitch was bettered by only four of his teammates.

He also made a difference up the other end as he averaged the most dribbles in the squad (2), which helped him progress into those attacking third and score his first top-flight goal against Manchester City, and lay on two assists.
