Manchester City agree £50m for kyle walker

in #sports7 years ago

Kyle Walker is about to become the world’s most expensive defender and the costliest English player of all time, after Tottenham Hotspur accepted a bid worth £53m from Manchester City. The package includes £3m of add-ons and takes Walker beyond David Luiz on the list of defenders and above Raheem Sterling in terms of players from England.

Guardiola has been keen to bolster his full-back options having released Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy and Pablo Zabaleta earlier this summer.

the deal could be agreed before the end of the week.

great post!

One can say it´s too much, but there is potentional, marketing and great opportunity to future. What do you think?

It is defintely too much. I think City were desperate. Getting him from a rival club is probably what inflated the price. Good business for Spurs.

As Durham would say, Kyle Walker "is he all that"?

£50M and he can't cross the ball but by God does he have an engine on him and is a bargain at £4.5M in the Sun Dream Team.
