Tottenham Hotspur resisted interest in Kyle Walker-Peters from both Crystal Palace and Southampton earlier this summer.
Walker-Peters started for Tottenham on Saturday as Mauricio Pochettino's side earned a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City.
The young right-back acquitted himself well, being tested by Raheem Sterling, and is set to be handed heavy first team involvement by Pochettino this season.
Walker-Peters, 22, had interest in the Premier League transfer window, but in a sign of his trust in the youngster, Pochettino resisted two sides keen on him.
Crystal Palace and Southampton were both interested in Walker-Peters, according to The Athletic.
Palace boss Roy Hodgson and Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl are both aware of the full-back's potential and were keen to get him on board.
Walker-Peters is a product of Tottenham's youth system and the club have never sent him out on loan.
Spurs did consider loaning the right-back out to Dutch outfit Roda JC, but after a trial in the Netherlands, the club decided that Walker-Peters would not suit the side's style of play.
Walker-Peters will be looking to kick on over the coming weeks and months, as he bids to nail down a regular spot in the side.
