Kyle Walker-Peters discusses life at Southampton and his experience working as a youth player under Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna at Tottenham.
When Kyle Walker-Peters takes to the pitch at Portman Road on Monday evening, there will be a very familiar face in the opposing dugout. Kieran McKenna was a youth coach at Tottenham as Walker-Peters rose through the academy, and played a more crucial role in his development than the Southampton defender had perhaps realised until this season. As the inverted full-back role has taken over in the game, Walker-Peters has McKenna to thank for getting him used to the role at a young age.
' Walker-Peters has been one of the standout players in the Championship this season, and whatever work McKenna did with him has been to Southampton's gain - and particularly that of new manager Russell Martin. 'I've enjoyed it. We've had a really good season with Russell and all his staff coming in. They've made a huge difference to the club and I've enjoyed playing under him. 'As a footballer you want to be on the ball as much as possible.
