"Manchester City" officially confirmed on their website that they have acquired 27-year-old London "Tottenham" right-back Kyle Walker for an impressive fee. There were rumors in the media that instead of K. Walker, the "Citizens" would choose free agent Dani Alves, but he rejected the offer from "Man City" and went to Paris Saint-Germain. The Manchester team had no choice but to agree to the conditions of "Tottenham" and acquire the England national team defender. K. Walker cost "Citizens" an impressive sum of 45 million pounds sterling. It could rise to 50 million pounds, making the defender the most expensive English footballer of all time. "I am excited to join Manchester City and can't wait to start the season here. Pep Guardiola is one of the most respected coaches in the world, and I hope to take my game to the highest level," said K. Walker. Having signed a five-year contract with "Man City," K. Walker was acquired by "Tottenham" in 2009, but was loaned to various English clubs until 2011. In total, the defender played 228 matches and scored four goals for the "Spurs."
