Real Madrid’s Danilo would be a good replacement for Kyle Walker at Tottenham Hotspur.
Kyle Walker is one of the best right-backs in the Premier League and has been in brilliant form for Tottenham Hotspur this season.
However, there is a possibility that Walker could leave Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
According to The Telegraph, Manchester United and Manchester City are interested in signing the 26-year-old defender in the summer.
Bayern Munich are also claimed to be interested in Walker, who will reportedly reassess his future at Tottenham at the end of the season.
If Walker does leave Spurs, then the North London outfit should look at Danilo of Real Madrid as a replacement.
Danilo is a very talented right-back, but he is the second choice at Madrid behind Dani Carvajal, who is arguably the best in his position in the world.
The Brazil international has proved to be a disappointing signing for the European giants. The 25-year-old has struggled to play well when he has featured, and one should not be surprised if Madrid sell him in the summer.
One can understand that there would be scepticism if Tottenham signed a player from Madrid who cost them £22.6 million in transfer fees (as reported by The Daily Mail) and has not even made 40 league appearances in two seasons.
However, there can be no doubt that the former FC Porto right-back is talented. What Danilo needs is a change of scenario and the chance to play regularly.
The Brazilian is good going on the attack, but he needs to work on the defensive side of the game.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has already shown that he can improve players, and the Argentine could do something similar with Danilo.
Danilo may not be an ideal replacement for Walker, but the Brazilian and Kieran Trippier could improve each other’s game by competing for the right-back spot.
