Transfer Talk: Foxes and Toffees linked with City defender Walker

Leicester and Everton are both keen on signing Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker this summer.

Walker, 32, is under contract with the Premier League champions until 2024 but has fallen out of favour under Pep Guardiola this term.

He has only started 18 of City’s 34 league outings and has played just two minutes of the Citizen’s last three Champions League games.

But for the Foxes and Toffees to land the England international they will first need to confirm their status in the top flight, with both in real danger of relegation.

Transfer guru Ekrem Konur says West Ham are also in the mix and appear a more likely destination, with the Hammers moving further away from the bottom three thanks to a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

City are set to undergo a major squad overhaul this summer, with Bernardo Silva also linked with an exit — French media claim Paris Saint-Germain lead the race for his signature.

While Ilkay Gundogan, who netted a brace in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Leeds, is finalising a deal with Barcelona, according to 90min.

German midfielder Gundogan is out of contract at the end of the season, while Portuguese maestro Silva is tied down at the Etihad until 2025.
