Now he's set to join on a permanent deal I dug into how Walker-Peters has helped us become a more balanced side and how he's helped Armstrong become more involved in our attacks. #SaintsFC
His pace and energy to get up and down the pitch quickly and often helps Armstrong sit narrower into his prefered #10 role and influence the game more. While on the left Redmond will often wait to receive the ball close to the touchline before cutting in. #SaintsFC
See here how Smallbone is sat at the #10 spot awaiting Kyle's overlap while Redmond is sat wide on the other flank.
This specific phase of play ends in KWP taking on a defender 1v1 outside the box and taking a shot that deflects before falling to Adams who scored. #SaintsFC

Defensively he has good awareness and positioning to be in the right positions, but also has enough pace to track back and defend a counter attack if we're caught out.
See here the distance between KWP and Wilson after Vestergaard steps out missing his tackle, effectively leaving Wilson alone & Stephens dealing with Solanke running in on goal, yet he closes the gap and manages to get in front of the striker to cut out a certain goal. #SaintsFC
He's a competent dribbler of the ball having completed 17 out of 19 attempted dribbles in just 7 starts at #SaintsFC
He's also a decent passer of the ball having completed 77% of his attempted passes compared to Valery's 56% and Cedric's 69%. #SaintsFC
Interesting stat: Kyle Walker-Peters has 6 Assists in 19 Senior starts (Between PL & CL), thats an assist per 3.1 games, while Cedric Soares has 11 Assists in 118 Starts for #SaintsFC (PL & EL), thats an Assist per 10.72 games.
