Kyle Walker makes Man City transfer call after brutal Roy Keane dressing down.
Insistent on either remaining in the Premier League or finding a competitive European team, Walker’s focus is clear: realising his ambition to don the Three Lions shirt 100 times.
Should he succeed, Walker would not only join the esteemed 10 England centurions but also complete the “perfect XI” thus securing his name among England’s most capped legends.
Tuchel opened up on Walker’s circumstances: “I think at the moment you see a lack of rhythm. Because he did not play the last matches, not many minutes for AC Milan. And after his broken elbow he lost his rhythm, that’s what you feel in camp.
“But I saw him very composed. I saw him very open. I saw him absolutely happy to be in camp and proud to be in camp. He trained very well.
“Every single player who played deserved it, over two camps or in this camp, to play, to start, to come in. That counts also for Kyle. I feel a lack of rhythm in his game.”
Tuchel is hopeful that Walker will secure his spot in a new club, as the England defender remains a key figure in recent tournaments.
The ex-Chelsea boss expressed his positive wishes for all players: “For sure, I hope this for everyone,” and stressed the importance of their fitness during the break.
The FIFA Club World Cup will see 32 of the world’s best club teams including Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich play across 63 games from June 14-July 13.
