The defender posted on social media (official Twitter) his return to training, with the caption: “First day back! Hard works begun”.

Walker-Peters has come through the academy ranks at the North London club and represented England up to Under-21s age level.

The 22-year-old is diminutive in size, but has decent pace and has had a taste of first-team action under Mauricio Pochettino.

He is a right-back that played 10 senior games last season across all competitions, including in the Champions League group stages in a draw against Barcelona.

But the academy graduate is still with Spurs at present and back in pre-season training,

A selection of Spurs fans are upbeat over Walker-Peters’ future and are excited to see his development.
