Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are set to do business over Kyle Walker.
Matt Le Tissier has told Sky Sports that he believes Tottenham Hotspur could struggle to keep hold of Kyle Walker this summer.
The Daily Star have reported that Walker could leave Spurs by the end of the week, with Manchester City interested in signing the England international.
And Le Tissier believes Spurs could find it difficult to turn down the money they are being offered for the 27-year-old.
“If they can keep hold of their full-backs then they’re all good in that department, but I think it will be difficult for Kyle Walker to stay if the offer is astronomical and I think it would be tough for Spurs to turn down as well given Kieren Trippier’s form,” the Southampton legend said.
“Walker is decent but at 27 it is the right time to cash in on him as his value will start to plummet and we know Spurs like to get top dollar, so Spurs will probably need to go out and replace him.”
Walker was offered the opportunity to refute the claims that he was about to leave Tottenham at a press conference yesterday, but he refused to do so.
The former Sheffield United man actually fell out of favour at Tottenham towards the back end of the past campaign.
Walker lost his place to Kieran Trippier, and it is thought that Mauricio Pochettino now considers the rapid right-back to be expendable.
Walker has been at Tottenham since 2009, making 228 appearances for the Lilywhites.
