Manchester City were beaten 3-2 by Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Tony Cascarino believes Kyle Walker’s Manchester City place could be lost to Aaron Wan-Bissaka of Crystal Palace next season.
The two right-backs came face-to-face on Saturday, as Palace earned a shock 3-2 win at the home of the Premier League champions.
But speaking on Jim White’s Talksport show on Monday, Cascarino suggested it was not only at the weekend that Walker has disappointed.
“I think Kyle Walker will lose his place at City next year,” said the former Republic of Ireland striker. “He had a very indifferent World Cup. He made a big mistake against Wigan at the start of the year – he’s had a few along the way. His performance at the weekend will have been very worrying for Guardiola.
“Wan-Bissaka at Crystal Palace looked a far more accomplished right-back than Kyle Walker. I know it’s one game, but if you look at Wan-Bissaka, at 21-years-old, and the way he plays he could easily fit into the City team. I think that sort of deal might happen.”
The Daily Mirror reported in November that Manchester City have made ‘a number of enquiries’ over Wan-Bissaka, who broke into Crystal Palace’s first-team plans at the start of the year.
The 20-year-old has not looked back since then, making the Eagles’ right-back position his own and earning caps for England at Under-21 level.
City are reported to have paid £45 million to sign Walker from Tottenham Hotspur 18 months ago.
The Brazilian, Danilo, currently provides competition for the Sheffield-born 28-year-old.
