Six-time Premier League winner would swap one to win with Tottenham Hotspur

Kyle Walker spent eight years of his career at Tottenham Hotspur and there is one thing he still wishes he could have done there.

Many years have passed since Kyle Walker departed Tottenham to join Manchester City. The right-back was exceptional in his final season at the Lane, which saw him earn the £50m move, making him the world’s most expensive defender at the time.

Walker made 229 appearances for Spurs across all competitions, registering four goals and 18 assists in the process. While he officially played as a defender, Walker offered an attacking threat and helped Tottenham to a second-place finish in the Premier League, as well as a League Cup final.

However, the 35-year-old was unable to win silverware in his eight years at the club. Since leaving, Walker’s achievements include six Premier League titles, four League Cups, two FA Cups, a Champions League title and more.

Kyle Walker reveals what he would give to win a trophy at Tottenham

Walker’s popularity declined when he made the decision to exit Hotspur Way for the final time. For many Spurs supporters, his move was tough to take, as he was the first key player to leave the club during the Mauricio Pochettino era.

However, Walker has seemingly always kept a place for Tottenham in his heart after his latest admission. The Sheffield-born star has revealed that he was feeling the nerves watching Spurs in the Europa League final. He has even said he would forfeit one of his honours at Manchester City if it meant being part of Tottenham’s cup-winning team.

Walker told The Kyle Walker podcast: “That was the first time in a long time I’ve been nervous and I wasn’t even playing, get on that! I was sat there on my iPad, watching it, and I couldn’t sit and watch it … I was just walking up and down my room.”

He added: “I’d probably give up one Premier League to win that with Tottenham.

“Just for what that moment meant, to say I was in that Spurs squad that won a trophy for the first time since 2008.”

Kyle Walker cannot be blamed for leaving Spurs

Walker was unlucky in that he joined Tottenham the year after they won the League Cup and only a few months after they reached the final for a second consecutive year. He would then have to wait six years to appear in a cup final, which ended in a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea.

This was unfortunate timing and it made sense for Walker to make the move to further his career. He may be willing to trade one league title for a cup win at Spurs, but giving up all his Manchester City achievements for that is out of the question.

However, Heung-min Son has shown that loyalty can be rewarded. He came close a number of times before finally winning a major trophy at Tottenham and becoming an undisputed legend of the club. Had Walker remained all these years, there is a very good chance he would have achieved that status too.
