Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has kept his cards close to his chest, when asked by Football.London whether rumours suggesting Kyle Walker could leave are true.
The Daily Telegraph suggest that Walker was left disappointed after being left out of Tottenham’s team to face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final.
And with Bayern Munich and Manchester City both interested in the right-back, there have been suggestions that Walker could leave White Hart Lane at the end of the season.
“It’s like many rumours before, Kyle, like Dele, Christian Eriksen, Toby, Lloris, Mauricio Pochettino. There’s many rumours now about many things. I never speak about rumours and now is not the moment to speak about individual matters, first of all me, a lot of links, and today a new link if you don’t know,” Pochettino said, when asked whether Walker was angry.
“It’s important to be honest with the club, and try to give our best and be focused now. After last game, yes it will be a moment to spend 24 hours to speak about the future of everyone but not now.”
Walker has been replaced by Kieran Trippier in Tottenham’s starting line-up over recent weeks.
Trippier has started three of Spurs’ last four matches, adding fuel to the exit rumours.
Whether Walker will come back into Tottenham’s team for their match this evening remains to be seen.
Spurs are set to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park later today, and they are under pressure to get the three points – after Chelsea picked up a victory against Southampton yesterday.
