Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker is currently 1/10 on with SkyBet to move to Manchester City.
Manchester City may have played into Tottenham Hotspur’s hands, by releasing all of the current right-backs in their squad.
City are known to be chasing Tottenham’s Kyle Walker this summer (Daily Mail).
But Pep Guardiola’s side are now so desperate to land a right-sided defender that they may have played right into Daniel Levy’s hands.
Tottenham are under no pressure to sell, and they now hold the position of strength in the negotiations.
Spurs know just how big City’s need for a right-back is, and they can now put up Walker’s price – safe in the knowledge that Guardiola’s side will simply have to pay it if they want their first choice.
By keeping some cover around, City could have at least not had to rush into buying Walker.
But Guardiola’s side appear to have put all their eggs in one basket, and Spurs can feel confident of getting a big fee for Walker, if he does leave, now.
