# Walker-Peters set for transfer discussion with Hodgson

Tottenham Hotspur full-back Kyle Walker-Peters is set to hold transfer discussions with Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson, according to a report on [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-player-holding-talks-with-two-pl-clubs-this-week/).

The report claims that the 22-year-old is set to leave Spurs this month but as stated on the[Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7866895/Tottenham-want-fee-Kyle-Walker-Peters-Crystal-Palace-eyed-loan.html), the north London club want a fee for his services, whether it is a loan move or permanent.

As reported on [Football London](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/kyle-walker-peters-transfer-latest-17546115), Hodgson confirmed that he was optimistic about securing the services of the right-back, who he also hailed as being “very talented”.

The Englishman has[barely featured](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kyle-walker-peters/leistungsdaten/spieler/341051)for Spurs this season, making just five appearances in all competitions and Southampton are also [being closely linked](https://readsouthampton.com/2020/01/14/walker-peters-to-meet-with-hasenhuttl-ahead-of-potential-saints-move/).

### READ CRYSTAL PALACE VERDICT

The Eagles are currently suffering from an injury crisis that Hodgson has labelled as the [worst he has ever encountered](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-crystal-palace-injuries-17433060) as manager of the club.

Hence, this transfer makes plenty of sense in our opinion, mainly because Walker-Peters will provide some much-needed defensive cover.

We feel that Palace have not really replaced Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who left to [join Manchester United last summer](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/aaron-wan-bissaka-signs-for-manchester-united) and I believe that Walker-Peters would be an ideal addition because he has already experienced top-flight football, meaning it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to settle in.
