Premier League 2017/18: Best summer signings XI

Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg
The bargain of the decade?

Kyle Walker - Manchester City (Right-back)

Manchester City v Everton - Premier League
Walker has executed Pep's plans ideally on the right

Signed from: Tottenham Hotspur

Price Paid: £47.43 million

It certainly raised a lot of eyebrows when Qatar backed Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spent a world record transfer fee to sign a right back from direct rivals Tottenham Hotspur. However, Walker has proved his critics wrong and is the fulcrum for the title-winning Manchester City side this campaign. He has contributed 6 assists for his teammates

Kyle Walker is one of the fastest right-backs in the world according to the Premier League tracking data. He is physically adept and his work rate is exceptional. Walker is brilliant in defence and looks to bombard forward at every possible instance.

The 27-year-old has made 26 assists so far in 260 appearances in all competitions in his career and was also named in PFA Team of the Year during the 2016/17 season.
