‘DIFFERENT ANIMAL’: DARREN BENT SAYS £45M STAR TOTTENHAM SOLD HAS ‘NO WEAKNESSES’
Former Tottenham Hotspur player Kyle Walker has ‘no weaknesses’ for Manchester City, according to Darren Bent.
The former Premier League striker praised the Treble-winning player and believes Kyle Walker is the best right-back in Premier League history.
Since 1992, the only player who could discuss and push Walker for the all-time right-back slot is Manchester United legend and current Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.
Bent, on the other hand, believes Walker, who left Tottenham for Manchester City in 2017 for a sum of £45 million (BBC Sport), is a ‘different animal’ than Neville, as he told talkSPORT.
While the debate over who is the best will continue, someone like Kyle has the potential to blow that debate out of the water in the coming years.
As the 33-year-old proved last season, he is still at the peak of his powers and there are plenty more medals and trophies to come.
Kyle Walker v Gary Neville
“You can’t fault Gary Neville for what he has done in his career,” said Bent. “But Kyle Walker, he hasn’t got any weaknesses. Kyle is just a different animal.
“Gaz was quick, wasn’t he?! But he wasn’t Kyle Walker quick.”
Kyle Walker is an all-time great for England
Of course, certain parts of the media only like to measure today’s footballing stick from 1992.
But even if you went back before that, someone like Walker could stand tall amongst the greats of the English game.
If there was an all-time English XI, then Walker’s name would be up for debate, no doubt, not forgetting that he is still going.
