Kyle Walker-Peters dilemma emerges as Jose Mourinho calls up wonderkid for Tottenham training

Here's all the news from around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over the past 24 hours.

Kyle Walker-Peters dilemma

Southampton head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl has opened up on his Kyle Walker-Peters dilemma.

On one hand, he has one player who will be at the club for the long-term, and on the other he has a player who is unlikely to join on a permanent basis.

Whilst admitting it's an issue, the Austrian has hinted at more game time for Walker-Peters despite the fact the defender is likely to head back to Spurs after his loan deal expires.

Mourinho plays down suggestions of rift with Ndombele

"Yes, this is always the same issue you have with players on loan, especially when you know that there's less options to get him permanent in the summer," Hasenhuttl said.

"But even now, we must find the guy who is fitting the best to what we need at the moment."

This week the club released a number of photos from their latest session at their Enfield base and one of the club's academy players was involved with the rest of first team.

Training with the likes of Harry Kane and Co on a few occasions this season, Dennis Cirkin was once again putting in the hard work against the senior stars.

Merson vs Mourinho round two

Paul Merson has doubled down on his belief that Tottenham is not the right place for Harry Kane while Jose Mourinho is in charge.

Mourinho actually responded to Merson's comments earlier this week, saying the former Arsenal forward's analysis over Kane made him 'feel strange'.

But Merson, in his latest Daily Star column, says Wolves striker Raul Jiminez would be a better fit.

"Jose Mourinho is one of the world’s greatest managers but I stand by what I said about him and Harry Kane," he wrote.

"Certain players suit certain managers and Kane doesn’t suit Mourinho.

"His goal against West Ham won’t end the questions about his future at Tottenham. How many good chances did he have in that game?
