The Tottenham Hotspur man looks set to join Manchester City.
According to The Guardian, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have finally reached an agreement over right-back Kyle Walker.
The report claims that Tottenham will sell the right-back for £50 million – £45 million up front and then an additional £5 million in add-ons.
If true it will bring to an end one of this summer’s lengthy sagas, with rumours about the Spurs man joining City doing the rounds for much of the off-season so far.
Gary Neville and former Lilywhites hero Graham Roberts are among those to offer their reactions on Twitter.
Roberts, who spent six years at White Hart Lane in the 1980s, obviously wants to see a new right-back recruited, and could that man be Ricardo Pereira?
The Evening Standard claimed on Thursday that Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino would make Kieran Trippier his first-choice option, but the £22 million Porto man will be signed regardless.
Trippier is a good right-back but is he on Walker’s level? It’s doubtful for the moment, though he has never been Pochettino’s main option for an extended period of time so it will be interesting to see how the former Burnley defender fares.
