The Sky Sports pundit believes it is a fight between the Liverool and Tottenham stars for best right-back.
Soccer Saturday pundit Phil Thompson has told Sky Sports that he believes it is a toss-up between Nathaniel Clyne and Kyle Walker as to who is the best right-back in the Premier League.
The England stars have both established themselves as stars at their respective clubs in recent years.
Clyne has been the first choice since arriving at Anfield from Southampton where he had previously starred under Mauricio Pochettino and Ronald Koeman.
Walker, meanwhile, has been a key first-team star under Pochettino since he took charge at White Hart Lane.
Both are currently battling for the England right-back spot and Thompson believes it also between those two for the best right back in the Premier League.
“Nathaniel Clyne is without a doubt one of the best right-backs in the league. It’s probably a toss-up between him and Kyle Walker as to who the best is,” he told Sky Sports.
At this moment in time, Walker would argue that he is the better of two given that he is England’s first choice.
He was consistently picked ahead of Clyne at Euro 2016 and started ahead of the Reds man in Sam Allardyce’s first game.
That could change this season, though, and it will be interesting to see if Clyne can impress enough to supplant the Spurs star.
