According to a recent report by The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker is weighing up his future at White Hart Lane amongst interest from Manchester City, Manchester United and German giants Bayern Munich.
The England international, who has been in excellent form this season for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, will be desperate to add some silverware to his footballing CV; and could be tempted by a move away to secure this.
With such an important run-in ahead of them, Mauricio Pochettino will need 100% focus from his Spurs players if they are to be in with any chance of catching up with Antonio Conte’s Chelsea. With this in mind, Tottenham’s manager could well be mulling over a change at right-back.
But this could spell to be a blessing in surprise. Since joining Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 from Burnley, Kieran Trippier has waited patiently in the wings, hoping for an opportunity to replace Walker. The defender has impressed whenever he’s featured for Spurs this season, and can get forward just as well as Walker. His crosses are arguably the best in this Spurs side as well.

With two talented England right-backs in his squad, Mauricio Pochettino now faces a difficult decision between now and the end of the season.
To stick with the tried and trusted Kyle Walker, despite doubts over his future? Or offer Kieran Trippier a chance to prove that he can become the undisputed number one right-back at White Hart Lane.
It is a tricky decision, that could well impact on Tottenham Hotspur’s chances of picking up their first ever Premier League trophy, but so far Trippier has shown he is up to the task.
