Every fan of every club loves it when a player from the academy comes through the ranks to become a member of the first-team, and Kyle Walker-Peters knows the story all too well.

The right-back has firmly asserted himself as a member of Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team after coming through the club to be where he is now, and his connection to the fans and Spurs is made even more special given the fact he is himself a supporter of Tottenham.
Walker-Peters spoke out about his love for the club in a recent interview with Tottenham’s official website, and Spurs fans on social media loved what the right-back had to say about the team.
Here is how some Tottenham fans reacted to Walker-Peters comments on Twitter…
