Manchester City are close to completing the
signing of Tottenham and England right-back
Kyle Walker.
The 27-year-old is expected to have a medical
and complete the transfer on Friday after the
clubs agreed a deal on Wednesday worth up to £50m.
Walker, who joined Tottenham from Sheffield
United in 2009, will not join up with Spurs for
the start of their pre-season training on Friday.
Instead, he will travel with City on Monday to
start their tour of the USA.
City boss Pep Guardiola released three full-
backs at the end of last season, including
both right-sided players - Pablo Zabaleta and
Bacary Sagna.
He missed out on the signing of free agent Dani Alves, with the Brazilian joining Paris St- Germain on Wednesday.
Walker made 183 Premier League appearances for Spurs and he has won 27 England caps.
The defender, selected in the 2016-17 Premier
League team of the year, will become City's
third signing of the summer, after the arrivals
of midfielder Bernardo Silva and goalkeeper
Ederson Moraes.
