Ian Wright says he can’t believe why Tottenham agreed to sell Kyle Walker-Peters to Southampton.
The 24-year-old completed permanent £12m move after initially spending six months on loan at St. Mary’s stadium in 2020.
Walker-Peters has enjoyed an impressive season so far under Ralph Hassenhutl and he has already earned an England call-up for friendlies against Switzerland and the Ivory Coast this month.

“Kyle Walker-Peters. Its great to see him. I remember watching him at Tottenham and I’m thinking they got rid of him and brought in Serge Aurier. When I watched Serge for a couple of games I’m thinking ‘I’m sorry, Kyle Walker-Peters is a better player’,” he told Wrighty’s House.
“They brought Emerson Royal in and I’m saying I’m sorry, he’s a better player. And even with Doherty, who does great stuff going forward, I’ve watched Walker-Peters and I’m glad he’s got the call-up.
“I’m thinking why have Tottenham got rid of him when you see how he plays?”
