The Tottenham Hotspur defender is in great form this season.

Former Tottenham Hotspur player Graham Roberts has taken to Twitter to hail the improvement of Spurs full-back Kyle Walker this season.

The England international is now widely regarded as one of the best right-backs in the country and he continued to show his importance to Tottenham during their 5-0 victory against Swansea City on Saturday.

Walker has had his critics in the past, but along with fellow full-back Danny Rose he has taken the criticism on board and become a key player for both club and country.

Writing on social media on Sunday morning, Roberts said, “My man Kyle Walker every week just gets better and better; like a machine at the moment, playing so well and finally delivery superb too.”

Walker has always been regarded as a fine attacking full-back yet questions were often asked of his ability at the opposite end of the field.

However, he is now the complete package and looks set to improve even further under the tutelage of Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Walker has featured 16 times for Tottenham so far this season and he will be key for the rest of this season and for many years thereafter.
