Personal life

[edit]

Walker-Peters was born in Edmonton, London.[4] His uncle Phil Walker was a professional footballer who played for Millwall and Charlton Athletic.[5]

Club career

[edit]

Tottenham Hotspur

[edit]

Walker-Peters signed for Tottenham Hotspur on 1 July 2013.[4] In May 2015, he made his senior team debut in the post-season tour of Malaysia and Australia.[4] In December 2015, he received Premier League Under-21 player of the month for Spurs.[6] February 2017 saw Walker-Peters sign a new contract until 2019.[7]

At the start of the 2017–18 season Walker-Peters made his full Premier League debut against Newcastle United helping to earn Tottenham a 2–0 away victory at St James' Park. Sky Sports went on to award him Man of the Match.[8] On 28 February 2018, he scored his first goal for Tottenham in the 6–1 win against Rochdale in the fifth round FA Cup tie.[9]

In the 2018–19 season, Walker-Peters made his first start of the season on 31 October 2017 in the EFL Cup tie against West Ham United that Tottenham won 3–1.[10] He also had his first appearance in the Premier League this season as a substitute in game against Leicester City.[11]

On 10 December 2018, Walker-Peters signed a new five-year contract with Tottenham following a contract signed earlier in May the same year.[12] He made his first start in the Champions League in the group stage against Barcelona, and despite a moment of poor play that led to a Barcelona goal, he performed well to block a goal in the second half. The match ended 1–1, which sent Tottenham through into the knockout stage together with their opponents.[13][14][15]

On 26 December 2018, Walker-Peters registered three assists during a 5–0 home win against Bournemouth, becoming the youngest player, aged 21 years and 257 days, to provide three assists in a Premier League game since Jermaine Pennant (aged 20 years and 227 days) made three in August 2003 for Leeds United against Middlesbrough.[16]

Southampton

[edit]

2019–20 season: Loan to Southampton

[edit]

On 29 January 2020, Walker-Peters joined fellow Premier League side Southampton on loan until the end of the season.[17] He made his league debut on 15 February 2020 against Burnley which Southampton lost 2–1.[18] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that suspended the Premier League season, Walker-Peters would not play again for Southampton until their 3–0 victory against Norwich City on 19 June 2020.[19] Walker-Peters ended the season with ten appearances for Southampton.[20]

2020–21 season: Permanent move to Southampton

[edit]

On 11 August 2020, he signed a permanent, five-year deal with the club for a reported fee of £12 million.[21] On 12 September 2020, Walker-Peters started his first game since his permanent switch in a 1–0 defeat to Crystal Palace. He was initially shown a straight red card by referee Jon Moss, but after Moss reviewed the pitchside monitor the decision was downgraded to a yellow card.[22] On 6 November 2020, he appeared in a 2–0 victory against Newcastle United which sent Southampton to the summit of the English top flight for the first time since 1988.[23]

On 25 January 2021, Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhüttl said that Walker-Peters had sustained a muscle injury.[24] On 11 February 2021, Walker-Peters returned from injury and started in the FA Cup against Wolverhampton Wanderers which ended in a 2–0 victory.[25] He ended the season with 35 appearances in all competitions.[26]

2021–22 season

[edit]

On 2 August 2021, Southampton signed right-back Tino Livramento for £5 million, adding competition for Walker-Peters.[27] With the addition of Livramento, Walker-Peters starred as a left-back during parts of the season.[28] On 22 August 2021, he made his first appearance of the season in Southampton's 1–1 draw with Manchester United after he replaced Romain Perraud.[29] On 25 August 2021, Walker-Peters scored his first professional goal for Southampton in an 8–0 away victory against Newport County in the EFL Cup.[30] It was their biggest away win in their history.[30]

On 22 January 2022, Walker-Peters scored his first Premier League goal in a 1–1 draw against Manchester City.[31] On 5 February 2022, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory against Coventry City in the FA Cup during extra time.[32] Walker-Peters made 37 appearances in all competitions throughout the season.[33]

2022–23 season

[edit]

On 6 August 2022, he made his first appearance of the season in a 4–1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.[34] A week later, Walker-Peters scored the equalising goal in a 2–2 draw with Leeds United.[35] On 13 March 2023, Southampton said it was in touch with Hampshire Police after Walker-Peters received racist abuse on social media following the team's goalless draw with Manchester United on 12 March.[36] Southampton were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season, with Walker-Peters making 38 appearances in all competitions.[37][38]

2023–24 season

[edit]

On 4 August 2023, he made his first appearance of the season in a 1–2 victory against Sheffield Wednesday.[39] He scored his first goal of the campaign on 25 October 2023 in a 2–2 draw with Preston North End.[40] During a 3–0 defeat to Liverpool in the FA Cup on 28 February 2024, Walker-Peters suffered an injury concern.[41] Until his injury, he was the only outfield player who played every minute for the club in the league so far that season.[42] Walker-Peters made 47 appearances in all competitions throughout the season.[43]

International career

[edit]

Born in England, Walker-Peters is of Jamaican descent.[44] He was selected to take part in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup by coach Paul Simpson. He played in five matches and the final in which England won.[45][46]
