Speaking on talkSPORT’s YouTube channel, Gabriel Agbonlahor has been putting together his all-time Premier League XI.

Agbonlahor was asked to create an ultimate XI of players to have played in the Premier League, but, there was something of a catch.

He could only use one player from every club, and inevitably, he had a Spurs player in there.

However, he didn’t go for someone like Gareth Bale or even Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric. Instead, he opted to go for the Tottenham version of Kyle Walker.

What’s been said about Walker?

Agbonlahor named his all-time XI and Walker made the grade from his time at Spurs.

“So right-back I’ve gone with Kyle Walker from Spurs. Left-back is Ashley Cole from Arsenal, centre-backs are Virgil van Dijk from Southampton and one of the best defenders to play in the Premier League, Chelsea’s John Terry,” Agbonlahor said.

“Kyle Walker is a great shout,” Jamie O’Hara added.

“The best right-back to ever play in the Premier League. That’s my statement,” Agbonlahor concluded.

Sneaky pick

Agbonlahor says that Virgil van Dijk from Southampton is a sneaky shout, but so is Kyle Walker from Spurs.

Yes, Walker was excellent at Tottenham, but his best body of work has undoubtedly come at Manchester City.

The full-back can’t be considered the best in Premier League history based solely on his time in north London, so this is a bit of a cheeky selection from Agbonlahor.

However, it has to be said, that defence would be almost impossible to beat.
