Kyle Walker blasted by Man City fans after startling Tottenham admission - with supporters calling for him for be banned from the Etihad

Daily Mail​a day ago

Kyle Walker has angered Manchester City fans by admitting he would give up a Premier League title with the club to win the Europa League with Tottenham.
The 35-year-old defender spent eight years at White Hart Lane after joining from boyhood club Sheffield United in 2009, but he was unable to end their trophy drought.
He reached the League Cup final and came second in the Premier League but never reached the high which Ange Postecoglou 's side managed, as they beat Manchester United in Bilbao last month to clinch the Europa League - their first piece of silverware in 17 years.
The England international has enjoyed a hugely succesful trophy ladden eight-year spell at the Etihad.
He has lifted a staggering six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
But remarkably, the right-back revealed he would trade one of his league medals for Europa League glory with his former side.
Speaking on his Kyle Walker Podcast, the former City captain said: I'd probably give up one Premier League, not the first, to have won that with Tottenham.
'I know what it means. I'd probably give my second. It's hard to give one away, but for what that moment meant. To say that I in that Spurs squad that won a trophy.'
His startling admission has enraged City fans, with many rushing to social media to express their frustration.
'Mental. I could never ever imagine John Stones, Nathan Ake, Samir Nasri, Carlos Tevez ever coming out and saying they would give up even a Community Shield to win a trophy at a former club,' one wrote.
Another added: 'There is not another player on the planet that would give up a Premier League title to win the Europa League with Spurs.'
'Just ban this guy from the Etihad and get it over and done with. He's already freely hating us, why protect whatever is left of his relationship with the club,' one supporter raged.
'He's not going to be remembered anywhere. Tarnished at Spurs and now at City. He can sod off, another fan wrote.
A further supporter added: 'Honestly it's like every time he speaks he ruins it a bit more. I think it's telling that we seemingly haven't missed him at all.'
Walker's City future is uncertain after a mixed loan spell at AC Milan.
The Italian side declined to make the move permanent, while he has just one year remaining on his contract.
Meanwhile, he was axed from Pep Guardiola's Club World Cup squad and won't fly out to the US as City look to retain their title.
