Football: Tottenham’s Walker-Peters joins Southampton on loan

SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND – Southampton have signed Tottenham Hotspur right back Kyle Walker-Peters on loan until the end of the season, the premier league clubs said on Wednesday (Jan 29).

Tottenham academy graduate Walker-Peters, 22, has made five appearances across all competitions this season, but only once since Jose Mourinho took charge, in the 3-1 loss to Bayern munich last month.

“He is a talented young player, with good defensive and attacking qualities,” Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuettl said in a statement.

“It was clear this month that we could use additional support in the full-back positions, and Kyle was exactly the profile of player I was hoping we could bring in.

Southampton, ninth in the league table, visit leaders Liverpool on Saturday.
