Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City.
According to the Independent, Mauricio Pochettino has had long-term doubts over Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker.
Walker’s future at White Hart Lane appears to be in serious doubt, heading into the summer transfer window, with the right-back losing his place in Spurs’ first-team over recent weeks.
Kieran Trippier has been favoured to Walker in four of Tottenham’s last five matches.
The former Burnley man has started in the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, and the North London Derby against Arsenal.
And Walker is now said to be considering his future at Tottenham, with Manchester City leading the race for his signature.
Pochettino is reportedly willing to cash in on Walker, as he has never been fully convinced by the 26-year-old.
Pochettino has doubts over Walker’s ability to play two games in a week at the same standard, and has reportedly also become concerned by the defender’s performances in training.
The Independent suggest that Walker’s training ground showings have dipped in recent weeks, which has caused him to become a back-up player.
If Walker does leave Spurs this summer, it is likely to cost around £50 million to prise him away from White Hart Lane.
