The Daily Express have claimed that Tottenham may decide to push ahead with a move for Kyle Walker-Peters next summer if they qualify for Europe as UEFA requires four ‘club-trained’ players to be included in the squad.
Transfer expert Graeme Bailey told The Spurs News earlier this week that Ange Postecoglou’s men are looking to sign a versatile full-back, who can operate at both left-back and right-back.
He suggested that the club could decide to re-sign Walker-Peters, who left Hotspur Way to join Southampton back in 2020.

Walker-Peters would boost Spurs club-trained list
The Express have now provided another reason why Tottenham might be tempted to move for their academy graduate.
The outlet explains that according to UEFA regulations, four club-trained players need to be included in a team’s 25-man squad for the Champions League, Europa League or Europa Conference League.
Currently, only Oliver Skipp, Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman fit into that category. While Troy Parrott and Japhet Tanganga also qualify as club-trained, there is no guarantee that either will be at Tottenham next season.
If Spurs are unable to name four club-trained players, they would have to go into UEFA competition with a reduced List A squad. As a result, bringing Walker-Peters through the door could be crucial in helping them fill their quota.

I do not think it will be much of a problem for Ange Postecoglou to go with a slightly reduced A-list, given that clubs are allowed to use an unlimited number of Under-21 players. As a result, the likes of Alfie Devine, Ashley Phillips and Alejo Veliz are not required to be named among the 25.
