Tottenham saw their star defender Kyle Walker leave the club and complete a switch to Manchester City earlier in the summer transfer window. The England international's sale saw Spurs collect a fee of over £50m.
Walker-Peters replaced Walker in the right wing-back position for Mauricio Pochettino's side in the opening tie against the Magpies. He won the Under-20 World Cup with England earlier in the summer and impressed in the pre-season friendlies as well.
He will fight with Kieran Trippier for a place in the starting line up in the current campaign. However, the latter is likely to be first choice right-back at Tottenham, with Walker-Peters being his understudy.
