Kyle Walker signed a five-year contract with Manchester City in 2017 with a transfer fee of around £ 50 million. Since his joining the club, Kyle has become a different player under Pep Guardiola. He was one of the key players in winning the title last season.

Walker has become a valuable player for both his club and country at the moment. His passing game has become very strong under Guardiola. His ability to pass long and short provides fluency to City's game.

Kyle Walker is a very strongly built footballer. Although not that tall, his imposing physique helps him in an aerial duel and holding on the ball. Most importantly as a defender, he knows when he needs to go forward and when he needs to stand his ground.

Along with defending, he has been crucial in delivering crosses inside the box. Last season he had six assists to his name due to his crossing abilities.
