Kyle Walker is set for a fresh chapter in his career as he agrees to join Everton on a one-year deal.
The experienced Manchester City defender returns from a loan spell at AC Milan and is now ready to prove himself again in the Premier League.
Although the final agreement between Manchester City and Everton is still being finalized, both clubs are working out whether it will be a permanent move or a 12-month loan.
Either way, this is seen as a positive step for Walker, who still has one year left on his City contract.
The 35-year-old right-back brings a wealth of experience and success, having won 17 major honours in eight seasons with Manchester City.
These include six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, and the UEFA Champions League.
He also had a key role in City’s domestic and European dominance.
Despite his achievements, Walker’s time at Manchester City has come to a natural turning point.
He was recently left out of the Club World Cup squad and no longer features in Pep Guardiola’s plans.
A move to Everton offers him the chance to get regular playing time and possibly guide younger players with his top-level experience.
A source close to the club confirmed the shift, saying,
“Kyle has been a wonderful serving to the club. He has given everything and was key to the success. But after the disappointment of last season the club has to rebuild.”
Walker’s journey with City began in 2017 after his £50 million move from Tottenham Hotspur Since then, he has cemented himself as one of the league’s top defenders, admired for his speed, awareness, and ability to read the game.
For Everton, adding Walker to their squad is a smart move.
Moreover, it gives the England international a platform to prove his worth in a competitive setting once again.
As talks continue between the clubs, fans are already anticipating what Kyle Walker’s move to Everton could mean for both sides.
