# Palace hold talks as Spurs seek £15m Walker-Peters deal

Tottenham have seemingly decided to cash in on defender Kyle Walker-Peters this month, amid interest from Crystal Palace and Southampton.

[According to Football Insider,](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-walker-peters-transfer-twist/) both clubs remain in talks with Tottenham over a potential move for the defender.

Previous [reports](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-player-holding-talks-with-two-pl-clubs-this-week/)had suggested that the defender could join one of the two aforementioned sides on loan, but it now looks like a permanent exit could be on the cards. [Football Insider’s](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-walker-peters-transfer-twist/) report claims that Spurs will let the player leave for £15 million this month.

### Read Crystal Palace verdict

Whether or not Palace are willing to spend £15m on a player that they were originally trying to sign on loan remains to be seen, but a move to Selhurst Park could make a lot of sense for Walker-Peters. He’s out of favour at Tottenham as things stand and is yet to feature under Jose Mourinho in the Premier League ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/313672/Show/Kyle-Walker-Peters)).

Crystal Palace could certainly benefit from a new additions at the back, especially at right-back where they failed to replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka following his move to Manchester United. Roy Hodgson [only](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/162/Show/England-Crystal-Palace) has Joel Ward to call upon as a natural right-sided full back.

The opportunity to play regularly in the Premier League seems to be there for Walker-Peters at Palace, while he can also remain in London – a factor that could appeal to the player.

Compared to Southampton, there is already some fierce competition in the right-back spot, with Ralph Hasenhuttl able to call upon the experienced Cedric Soares and Yan Valery. If regular first-team football is what Walker-Peters is searching for, a move to join Palace instead of Southampton looks like it could be the smart decision.
