If there is one thing Tottenham Hotspur do right, it is selling their key players for astronomical sums. Spurs chief Daniel Levy did it with Gareth Bale when Real Madrid came in for the Welsh forward and he has struck gold again with Kyle Walker.

In truth, Walker may never have ended up at Manchester City. However, when Dani Alves was lured to the French capital by Paris Saint-Germain who offered double City's wages, Guardiola had no choice but to look within the Premier League and walker fit the bill.

Having impressed in seasons past, even winning a Young Player of the Year award in 2011/12 and being named in the Team of the Year twice, Walker was having trouble with Mauricio Pochettino.

Ultimately, with Spurs looking to finance their new stadium and the Argentine boss preferring Kieran Trippier instead, a transfer was the logical choice and 27-year-old Walker is now the most expensive English player ever.
