Man City's Walker to join AC Milan on loan

Italian club AC Milan have agreed a deal to sign Manchester City captain Kyle Walker on loan for the remainder of the season.

The agreement includes an option to buy the defender in the summer when the loan deal comes to an end. Walker, who has made 316 appearances for City, will now travel to Italy for a medical. The full-back last featured for City against West Ham on 4 January, after which he told manager Pep Guardiola he wanted to explore his options around a potential move abroad. The 34-year-old prefers a move to Italy, rather than the Saudi Pro League where he was initially linked with. AC Milan have also been linked with Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford but registration rules in Italy mean they are only able to sign one player from the UK during the current transfer window.

That's exciting news for AC Milan fans, and the addition of Walker will make AC Milan defense even stronger. In the Premier League, Walker movement has been seen to slow down, in my opinion his decision to move to Serie A was very appropriate. It seems that there are many factors that make Walker reluctant to move to the Saudi Pro League, maybe Walker still wants to strengthen the England National Team, staying in Europe can maintain his level of play.

AC Milan faced many obstacles in recruiting Rahsford, especially regarding the player salary which was considered too high, and AC Milan was unable to make his status permanent after the loan period was over. With Serie A regulations limiting the number of English players recruited, AC Milan management chose Walker as an alternative solution. It seems that Walker did not need long to adapt, now AC Milan has the leader they need.

I have known Kyle Walker since he was playing for Tottenham I think he had his best days when he was playing for this team and Tottenham was the key for him to grow and get better offers. Walker was known for his amazing starts and speed, he could be strong in attacks because of his speed and help the team in the defensive line at the same time.

But think Walker is not in good form otherwise, Pep Guardiola could keep this player in the team. He can definitely help AC Milan but I don't expect to see the same good Walker we saw years ago.
