Kyle Walker has signed a two-year contract extension at Manchester City worth more than £150,000-a-week.
The England international joined City from Tottenham Hotspur in July 2017 and has become a stalwart in defence, clocking up 100 appearances in all competitions and helping Pep Guardiola’s men to two Premier League titles, two League Cups, an FA Cup and a Community Shield.
Having played such a key role in City’s achievements, Walker now hopes to help build a period of sustained success for the ‘Fourmidables’.
“I’m thrilled to have signed a new deal,” he said. “Playing for City has been everything I’d hoped it would be and more.
“It was an easy decision. I want to be competing for trophies, playing at the highest level, and I feel I have improved hugely as a player during my time here.
“The Club’s vision – both on and off the pitch – matches mine perfectly and I’m looking forward to spending the new five years here, hopefully winning more silverware.”

Your last bit about stronger or faster or usually both than anyone he comes against is a massive understatement from this sub regarding fullbacks. Having played RB myself and being similar profile to Walker (albeit at sunday league level), your team will find you invaluable defensively if you are this physically intense. It is true that someone like Cancelo can offer more offensively but ask the likes of Mane, Zaha, Hazard, Rashford and they will prefer playing against Cancelo everyday of the week.

He's hardly a Walker.
