‘New chapter’ – Kyle Walker made surreal Premier League transfer after eight years at club
Kyle Walker was once the most expensive English player of all-time after completing a world record move. The full-back’s £53million move to Manchester City in 2017 was the highest fee paid for a defender at the time. Walker completed a world-record move to City back in 2017ST Sport The ‘surreal’ transfer came after eight years with TottenhamGetty Walker made the switch to the Etihad Stadium from Tottenham after eight years at the club. Following his arrival from Sheffield United in 2009, the England international made 229 appearances for Spurs. However, he swapped north London for a ‘new chapter’ after joining Pep Guardiola’s City eight years ago. Following the move, Walker could not hide his excitement as he described the ‘surreal’ feeling of signing for the club. Speaking at the time of his announcement, he explained: “It feels a bit surreal. “I have been at Tottenham for so many years, but I’m excited about beginning a new chapter in my career. I can’t wait to get started. I’m thrilled to be signing for City. “With the size of the club, we need to go on and pick up silverware, get trophies left, right and centre, and hopefully that can add to my CV because I haven’t won that many things so far in my career. “Tottenham was a great club, it helped me to get me to where I am now. I’ve learned a lot, especially under Mauricio Pochettino, he’s been fantastic with me. “But sometimes your path isn’t there and you have to move on and what a place to come and take a different path. Just win trophies – that’s all I’m about and all I want to do.” Walker has since enjoyed a trophy-laden spell at City, winning 17 pieces of silverware.
