Walker caused outrage.

Kyle Walker has angered Manchester City fans after making a surprising statement about his former club, Tottenham Hotspur.

In a recent interview, the 35-year-old defender shared that he would be willing to sacrifice a Premier League title for a Europa League victory with Spurs, the team he spent eight years with.

Walker did not win any titles while playing for Tottenham.

Specifically, Walker stated: “I would probably give up a Premier League title, not my first, to win the Europa League with Tottenham because I know what that means. Perhaps my second title, although that was the season I won four domestic titles with Man City.”

This statement immediately sparked a wave of fierce criticism from Man City fans. One angry supporter wrote: "Just ban him from the Etihad, he doesn't love this team anymore."

Others sarcastically remarked, "It's unbelievable that John Stones or Tevez would say they want to give up winning titles with City for a trophy at their old club."

Walker is on the verge of leaving Man City with only one year left on his contract and has been left out of the Club World Cup squad. He has expressed his desire to leave and played half of the 2024/25 season on loan at AC Milan. However, the Serie A club refused to make the move permanent. Recently, Fenerbahce has also reportedly shown interest in the English defender.

While Man City fans were angry, Spurs supporters were touched by Walker's sentiment. One Tottenham fan commented: "It's great to hear Walker use the word 'we' when referring to Spurs. It shows his heart still belongs here."

Walker joined Man City in 2017 from Tottenham for £50 million. He won six Premier League titles, was part of the team that achieved the historic treble in the 2022/23 season, and captained the team towards the end of his career. However, his recent statements have made his legacy at Etihad more controversial than ever.
