Rumour: AS Monaco plot swoop for Tottenham Hotspur right-back Kyle Walker

French outfit AS Monaco, who had listed Arsenal‘s Bacary Sagna as their primary target for the summer, are resigned to lose him, as the French international looks increasingly likely to extend his contract at the Emirates. They are now being heavily linked with Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker.

The Englishman has become one of the hottest properties in world football, and has established himself as the premier right-back at White Hart Lane. His blistering pace, coupled with a keen sense of defensive awareness, has made him a target for many top European clubs.

AS Monaco have the cash to splash. However, the Spurs are unlikely to sell their star man, as they look to compete for top honours in the coming seasons.
