Walker feeling privileged after reaching Man City milestone

Kyle Walker became a Manchester City centurion recently, and he is proud to have fended off intense competition in the process.

Manchester City scraped past Sheffield United in their most recent Premier League outing, courtesy of a 20-yard screamer from Kyle Walker.

It marked a special occasion for the full-back as, apart from his rare occurrence on the scoreline, he reached his 100th appearance in the English top-flight with the Sky Blues.

The 30-year old arrived at the Etihad in a €50 million transfer from Tottenham during the summer of 2017.

Becoming a regular in Pep Guardiola’s line-up was not easy for him as he had to battle it out against the likes of Danilo and Joao Cancelo for a right-back berth.

Walker, now in his fourth season in the blue half of Manchester, is proud after his notable achievement and is determined to improve his already lustrous CV.

“From when I first signed here, there was me and Danilo, then Joao Cancelo came, so I have always had competition. To rack up the amount of games that I have done in such a short space of time is probably credit to myself, but I still feel great,” he stated, via Goal.

“I feel fresh, hungry, I’m so hungry to win more especially with this club, and with this team because I feel that we work so hard.

“To make 100 Premier League appearances is fantastic in any club but at Manchester City, it’s a really special achievement.”
