Walker pledges loyalty to Spurs

Kyle Walker has no plans to leaved Tottenham in the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old is reported to have attracted interest from clubs across Europe, with Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus thought to have cast their eyes over the right-back.

But the former Sheffield United man says he is happy and wants to stay with the north London club.

“It’s flattering to be linked with some big clubs, but, as far as I’m concerned, I’m playing for a very big club and I can fulfil all my dreams at Spurs,” Walker told The Sunday Mirror.

“Why would I even consider leaving? It’s not even open to debate. I owe a debt of gratitude to the club and the manager, Harry Redknapp, and I couldn’t be happier and more grateful.”

“Besides, I am not going to get carried away and I have a good group of people, including my agent, family and friends, who ensure I keep my feet firmly on the ground.”

Walker aadded Spurs have what it takes to challenge for the title. They are fourth, seven points behind league leaders Manchester City, with a game in hand.

“We have a great squad and an exceptional manager (Harry Redknapp),” he said.

“I see no reason why we shouldn’t expect to achieve great things.”

“We have as good a team as any in the Premier League, so why shouldn’t we be optimistic?”

“We have a winning mentality and a manager determined to bring success. Finishing in the top four and competing for the title isn’t beyond us.”
