From winning Man of the Match on his professional debut, to helping his country win the World Cup; Kyle Walker-Peters has a wealth of footballing experience for someone still only 22-years of age. We take a look back at his career so far...

Spurs Academy



London-born Walker-Peters joined the Tottenham academy in July 2013; a move that seemed destiny growing up as he followed in the footsteps of his uncle, Phil Walker, who played for Millwall and Charlton.



During his first full season in the academy he featured in more than 25 league games for Spurs, including both FA Youth Cup ties.



The following season saw Spurs win the Premier League Under-18s Champions Cup and the IMG Cup, both of which Walker-Peters played his part in.



He also started all six games in Tottenham’s path to the FA Youth Cup semi-finals in 2014/15, scoring against Wolves and Nottingham Forest during the run.

Moving into the senior squad



Walker-Peters earned his reward for promising performances in the academy with a place on the 2015 post-season tour of Malaysia and Australia, where he made his senior-team debut.



Continuing on his work with the Under-21s during the following season, featuring in 20 of the 22 games during the 2015/16 season, he received the Under-23s Player of the Month award from the Premier League in December.



What followed was Walker-Peters’s first senior matchday squad appearance; a place on the bench during a 3-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth in March of 2016.



The following season was a familiar mixture of impressive academy performances, followed by stints with the first-team; regularly training with the senior side and being included in the FA Cup squads against Aston Villa and Wycombe in 2017.

First-team debuts



His first-team competitive debut came on the opening weekend of the 2017/18, starting and winning Man of the Match in a 2-0 win at Newcastle.



He would go on to feature nine times for the first-team during the campaign, scoring his first goal for Tottenham in a 6-1 win over Rochdale in February.



Walker-Peters would have to wait until the final day for his second start, but he again impressed by providing two assists in a 5-4 home victory over Leicester City.

International duties



His first involvement in the England set-up came in September 2014, featuring for the Under-18s.



Walker-Peters has since been capped at every level between Under-19s and Under-21s, including featuring in the Under-20 World Cup win in South Korea in June 2017.



Despite not starting the opening two games of the tournament, he featured at left-back in the final group stage game against the hosts and from then on retained his place until the final.
