What next for Tottenham's Kyle Walker?

20 June 2015 09:35

With Tottenham having signed Kieran Trippier from Burnley on a long term five-year deal for around the £3.5m mark, is this going to push forgotten England man Kyle Walker out of the side & even a possible move away from the club in the future?

Trippier's arrival will make or break the former Sheffield United player, with Trippier impressing in a poor Burnley defence, at 24 he's almost at peak level, he's quick, agile, works hard & understands his position very well, the new signing could even claim an England birth if he grabs his chance in the first X1 at Spurs. Walker needs to stay clear of injuries & work hard to impress Pochetinno. It's a toss of a coin who claims a place in defence, with both having similar attributes, it can only benefit Tottenham.

With just one England appearance in the past 18 months, injuries have hindered Walker's progression to claim the right-back berth his own at international level as well. England have options in his position with Nathaniel Clyne, Glen Johnson, Phil Jones, Callum Chambers & John Stones all playing there the past 12 months, many argue Clyne is the favourite to nail right-back for Euro 2016.

Trippier or Walker, who is your choice at right-back?
