Fulham keen on summer deal for Southampton defender

Fulham are interested in landing Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters in the summer transfer window.

The 28-year-old Londoner is out of contract at the end of June.

And the South London Press understands that the Whites are keen on adding the right-back to their squad.

Fulham have yet to agree a new deal with Kenny Tete, who is in the final months of his terms. Timothy Castagne has undergone ankle surgery after struggling on with a tear for the last four months.

Walker-Peters has produced two assists in 33 matches for the Saints, who are doomed to an instant return to the Championship.

He started on the books of Tottenham but joined Southampton on a permanent deal – reportedly for £12million – in August 2020.

Walker-Peters has made close to 200 appearances for the South Coast outfit.
