KYLE WALKER-PETERS is expected to leave Tottenham within the next week – with Crystal Palace likely to win the race for his signature.
The 22-year-old has been frozen out of the first team picture in North London with Serge Aurier now established as the number one choice at right back for Jose Mourinho.

Palace thought they had sealed a deal for Walker-Peters at the start of January but Spurs pulled back and left Roy Hodgson frustrated.
Since then Southampton have shown an interest as they look to bring in a new right back already planning for Premier League football next season.
But it is Palace who still look the most likely destination, once Daniel Levy finally gives the green light to let him leave.
Spurs want to offload the 22-year-old permanently, but Palace would prefer to sign him on loan with an obligation to buy.
He has made just three appearances in the Premier League for Mourinho’s side this season.
Spurs are said be planning surprise move for Sheffield United defender Jack O’Connell.
And the North London club are interested in Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose as they look to replace injured Harry Kane.
Mourinho is in desperate need of reinforcements as his start to life at Tottenham is officially his worst-ever after 20 years of management.
