Glenn Hoddle has suggested on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on 12th May on TalkSPORT, that Kyle Walker leaving Tottenham Hotspur may spark an exodus from White Hart Lane.

It has been suggested in The Sun that Walker could leave Spurs this summer.

The England international defender is of interest to both Manchester United and Manchester City, as well as Barcelona.

But Hoddle has warned that Spurs should be looking to keep hold of the right-back, as his departure could send out the wrong message to the squad.

“It’s been mooted about Kyle Walker going. You don’t want to set that trend, you’ve got to keep those players,” Hoddle said.

“If they see a player like that go it might set a precedent, but at the end of the day if someone is being given a lot more money and they want to leave the club, I think Pochettino is the type of manager who won’t want them at the club.”

Tottenham’s recent success has led to speculation mounting around many of their key players.

The likes of Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Dele Alli have all been linked with a move away from Spurs.

However, it is understood that Daniel Levy is prepared to reject offers for most his key stars, as he looks to keep Mauricio Pochettino’s current squad together.

Spurs are currently in second place in the Premier League table, but their hopes of catching league leaders Chelsea were ended after defeat to West Ham United in their most recent outing.
