A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted to the news that Kyle Walker-Peters is set to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and head to Crystal Palace on loan until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old started the season as Tottenham’s right-back, but since Jose Mourinho arrived, he has not featured with the Portuguese clearly favouring Serge Aurier.
Are Spurs right to let Kyle Walker-Peters go?
Yes, he is not good enough for them
No, he needs more time
However, should Walker-Peters depart – Spurs would be left with just the Ivorian at right-back.
This has infuriated many Spurs fans who feel they are now short of players.

So we’re left with Serge Aurier at left back? Yeah just get rid of all our depth.

Do we have any players left

Short enough of defenders as it is Without shipping more out on loan!

Other Tottenham supporters are pleased that Walker-Peters is leaving.
If he’s good enough play him if he’s not then just sell him. Likely to be another player that won’t make it at Spurs.

What do we think?
The 22-year-old, who is valued at £9m by Transfermarkt, has only made three league appearances,
Crystal Palace are offering Walker-Peters a lifeline, and hopefully, he can impress and revitalise his career.
Spurs, though, are leaving themselves short at the back, and they will have to move quickly to replace Walker-Peters.
