Report: Kyle Walker-Peters confident of permanent Southampton move

According to The London Evening Standard, Kyle Walker-Peters is confident that he will join Southampton on a permanent contract from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

Walker-Peters joined Southampton on loan from Premier League rivals Tottenham in the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old right-back is scheduled to return to his parent club Spurs at the end of the season.

However, Tottenham are interested in signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton this summer and are hoping to use Walker-Peters in the deal, according to The London Evening Standard.

The report has added that Walker-Peters is confident of making his loan move to Southampton permanent even if Hojbjerg does not move to Tottenham and joins Everton, who have had a bid of £25 million for the 24-year-old Denmark international midfielder accepted by the Saints.
