Man city agree walker fee

in #football7 years ago


Manchester City will pay a world-record fee for a defender after agreeing a deal in excess of £50m with Tottenham for Kyle Walker.

Walker will undergo a medical ahead of his proposed switch to City on Friday and, if all being well, will become Pep Guardiola's third signing of the summer.

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

The Catalan identified Walker as a key transfer target and looks set to finally complete a deal to bring the England right-back to the Etihad.

Walker played 39 times in all competitions last season as Tottenham finished second in the Premier League - their highest top-flight finish since 1962/1963.

The 27-year-old was also named in the PFA Team of the Year for the second successive campaign.

Walker started his career at Sheffield United before joining Tottenham in 2009 and has since made over 200 appearances for the club. image

Thats a heavy price. If he costs 50mil then Sanchez is at least double that.
