On July 14th 2017, Spurs announced that they had reached an agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Kyle Walker.
Kyle Walker made his debut for Tottenham on the 27th of March 2010 against Portsmouth, but he was then sent out on loan to a number of clubs before establishing himself as a hero at White Hart Lane.
A lot of supporters were over the moon with the club’s decision to sell the defender, as they took to the confirmation on Twitter to express their delight over the deal that had been agreed with Man City.
Daniel Levy should be the PM getting £50mill for Kyle Walker. We could probably get paid to leave the EU

Quality business! Trippier will take his England spot as well no doubt. Wish him all the best though… 9 years service Who are we buying?

You have to hand it to Levy. Getting £50m for Walker is genius

Kyle Walker started his career at Sheffield United and made a name for himself at right-back in the absence of a couple of injured players, which really helped his career take off. And, the defender became the youngest Sheffield United player to ever play at Wembley Stadium at the time when they faced Burnley in the play-off final.
The Englishman was loaned back to Sheffield United for the duration of the 2009-10 season, but he was later called back by Spurs and made his debut for the North London club on the 27th of March 2010. However, he went on to join Queens Park Rangers and Aston Villa on loan, before securing a regular place at White Hart Lane.
Indeed, the right-back made a name for himself in the North London derby as he scored the winner on the 2nd of October, which will always be a memorable moment for many supporters. He then went on to be named the PFA Young Player of the Year award, as well as being named in the PFA Team of the Year on two occasions.
Sadly, on the 14th of July 2017, Spurs sold Kyle Walker to Manchester City for a reported £50 million.
Walker will go down as arguably one of the best full-backs to have ever set foot at White Hart Lane, as he gave fans plenty of happy memories with his electrifying pace and long-range strikes, as well as bringing their defence on leaps and bounds, which helped Spurs’ transformation under Mauricio Pochettino.
