Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly willing to listen to offers for right-back Kyle Walker in the summer. However, any interested club will have to pay in excess of £35 million for his signature.
According to reports from The Standard, Spurs are ready to consider offers for the unsettled defender. Walker has reportedly held discussions with manager Mauricio Pochettino about his future, and it seems he wants to leave the club.
The 26-year-old has enjoyed an outstanding campaign for Spurs this season, and his impressive form has caught the attention of Premier League rivals Manchester City.

The report suggests that Walker is aware of City’s strong interest in him, and he knows that a move to Manchester could see him double his £70,000-a-week wages.
Spurs were initially reluctant to sell Walker, but their stance has softened a bit. However, the Standard reports that any potential club will have to pay over £35 million to prise him away from north London.
Walker was left out of the starting XI in two crucial games – FA Cup semi-final and north London derby – in recent weeks. Kieran Trippier has deputised in his place and has impressed heavily.
If Manchester City or any other wealthy club come up with an offer in the region of, say, £40 million, Tottenham should take it and use the money to buy a quality replacement in the summer.
