Tottenham have delayed plans to loan out rising star Kyle Walker-Peters following the sale of Kyle Walker to Manchester City, according to Sky Sports.
The broadcaster claim on their website that Spurs’ early summer plan was to send out right-back Walker-Peters to a new club for the upcoming season in order to gain crucial first-team experience.
Sky Sports report that the decision to let the 20-year-old go has been put on hold until Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino’s right-back dilemma has been solved.
It is said that Pochettino is a big fan of the talents of academy product Walker-Peters even though he has yet to play for the London giants’ first team.
The England Under-20 international regularly trained with the senior Tottenham squad last season and was named on the substitute’s bench for a few matches.
He is now the deputy to Kieran Trippier following a change of the right-back pecking order after Walker joined City on Friday for a world-record defender’s fee of £54million.
Tottenham are reportedly in the market for a new right-back but it has been said that efforts to prise Ricardo Pereira from Porto are now dead in the water.
Sky claim that Spurs have been keeping tabs on a number of right-sided defenders including Monaco’s Djibril Sidibe and Mitchell Weiser, Jeremy Toljan and Benjamin Henrichs in Germany.
