- Walker-Peters a free agent
- In talks over Besiktas deal
- Turkish team ‘cancel’ transfer
The full-back has been in negotiations with the Turkish side over a summer transfer following the expiration of his Southampton contract. However, after the 28-year-old allegedly asked for extra time to consider his options, Besiktas have ruled out a transfer in a public post.
A club statement reads: “It is public knowledge that the arrival of professional footballer Kyle Walker-Peters, with whom we had previously announced that we had reached an agreement in principle and invited him to Istanbul for a medical, has been postponed. Kyle Walker-Peters has once again requested additional time in his notification to us today. Thereupon, our club has cancelled the transfer of the footballer in question. Our club continues its transfer activities in line with the policy it has determined. We respectfully submit for the information of the public.”
The former Tottenham man has developed a respectable reputation as a الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز defender in recent years, both at right-back and left-back, and now that he is a free agent, he is choosing his next club. But it seems Walker-Peters’ conduct has angered Besiktas, who have made their feelings perfectly clear.
The two-time England international, who spent five years at Southampton following seven years at Tottenham, will now consider his transfer options once again, with the new 2025/26 season just weeks away.
