Kyle Walker-Peters has urged Southampton to keep teammate James Ward-Prowse.

The Saints skipper is being targeted by Aston Villa.

Asked about Ward-Prowse's potential departure, Walker-Peters told the Daily Echo: replied: "Yeah. It's hard for me to speak on that, obviously.

"Prowsey is a top player, teams are always going to be looking at him but that's down to the club.

"Of course, I hope he stays."
