Manchester City Defender Kyle Walker Poised To Join Everton

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has agreed to join Everton on a one-year deal.

The England right-back has been in discussions with Everton officials following his loan return from AC Milan.

Everton and Manchester City are now negotiating whether the move will be a permanent transfer or a 12-month loan as Walker enters the final year of his contract at the Etihad.

The 35-year-old enjoyed a decorated eight-year spell at City, winning 17 major trophies, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, and the Champions League.

Despite still having a year remaining on his contract, Walker was left out of City’s Club World Cup squad and is no longer part of Pep Guardiola’s future plans.

A source said: “Kyle has been a wonderful serving to the club.

“He has given everything and was key to the success. But after the disappointment of last season the club has to rebuild.”

This move will mark the end of Kyle Walker’s long-standing relationship with Manchester City, which began in 2017 after his £50 million transfer from Tottenham Hotspur.
