Tottenham ready to listen to offers in excess of £35m for Kyle Walker

Tottenham are ready to consider offers for unsettled defender Kyle Walker.

The England right-back is aware that he could double his £70,000-a-week contract elsewhere, with Manchester City known to have a strong interest in him.

Standard Sport first revealed last Monday that Walker had held talks with manager Mauricio Pochettino about his future at the club, given the interest in him from Spurs' rivals.

Walker was left out of the starting XI for both the FA Cup semi-final defeat by Chelsea and the 2-0 win over Arsenal.

Though Spurs were not willing to consider selling Walker earlier in the season, their stance is thought to have softened - though it would take a huge bid, probably in excess of £35million, to sign him.

Tottenham are determined to keep their key players, and have also been impressed by the recent displays of Kieran Trippier, who played at right-back against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Pochettino warned his players last week about the risk of losing focus during the closing weeks of the season, in the face of interest from wealthier clubs.
