There has been a lot of speculation regarding Kyle Walker’s future at Tottenham as the right-back featured as a substitute in the final few weeks of the campaign as Pochettino decided to use Kieran Trippier in the starting XI. A lot of reports surfaced the internet regarding the possible departure of Kyle Walker from Tottenham, claiming that Manchester United and Manchester City were interested in signing the player.
However, the fans do not seem interested in watching the player leave the club. Walker is easily one of the best right-backs in the Premier League and there’s no doubting that. His presence has been important for Tottenham over the years and he will remain important if he stays at the club. He’s one of the longest-serving players at the club and knows the values that Tottenham carry.
Despite all the prayers from the fans, the latest report in the Metro is claiming that Walker has already decided to leave Tottenham and it is said he decided it as early as the spring. The report also claims that Manchester City are leading the race for Walker and that the Sky Blues are confident they will wrap up the transfer before the start of their pre-season. Walker seems set to double his current £70,000 a week salary by joining City.
Tottenham have also informed City Walker’s price tag and Pep Guardiola is more than happy with the fee and is ready to pay up the required amount. This will come as a massive blow for us as we have just about set out with a winning XI. The core team is extremely strong, and consists of a lot of English players; Walker being one of them, and has challenged for the league title for two seasons now.
The team can only get better from here and it would be disastrous to let Walker leave the club. His absence would surely be felt by the team as he has been one of the most consistent players for Tottenham over the years.
Nevertheless, the club will benefit from the fact that they would be receiving a good sum of money for Walker, which can be re-invested to replace him. Trippier seems to be a good fit but it would be safe to buy another quality right-back so that the new signing and Trippier can fight it out for a starting place.
Do you think losing Walker would be a big blow?
Hello nice to see a properly decent article about this from a Spurs fan rather than one just digging city out, I’m a city fan and I have to disagree with you unfortunately, well kind of anyway.
Walker is one of the best right backs in the league, I would ask how many decent right backs play in the prem or more to the point how many genuinely world class ones do? None would be my answer and the prem doesn’t have many decent right backs either.
For me being a Spurs fan you would rightly hold walker in high regard and rightly so but from the outside in I don’t think he is as good as you think he is, I’ll compare it to the way I used to feel about Micah Richards, why could that lad not get in the England team he was class but in actual fact he wasn’t once I watched him from afar.
Honestly I would have walker at city he is decent compared to what is out there which is not a lot at right back, however if you get 40 or 50 mill for him I think you would be pulling out pants down just like Everton did.
For me you win all ends up by getting loads of money and retaining Trippier who I believe is a better player all round, he’s a better defender, he gets up and down just as much as walker and his final ball is far better, I would take him over walker no doubt, whatever happens I believe your on a winner more than a loser that’s for sure.
We need forty million to invest elsewhere more than we need a pile up of talent at right back . The record with Trippier at right back is excellent and we have at least two good ones coming through the system . Time to cash in . Davies has been excellent too and offers more defensively than Rose . Eighty million for the pair would open up limitless opportunities in areas that are much thinner .
I think that we had the best out of him.If he wants the money let him leave but not to a top Premiership rival.Trippier has been better than him this year and last. Take as much as we get. .
