Most expensive XI in world football at the moment

Kyle Walker (Manchester City) – Right-back (£50 million)

When you want any player from Tottenham, you know that you are in for a tough ride as Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is notorious for being a tough negotiator. After letting go off both Bacary Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta, City were desperate for a quality right-back.

While it looked for all money that Pep Guardiola would get his former favourite Dani Alves to The Etihad, the surprising decision of Alves to join PSG meant that Manchester City had no other option but to pay up Tottenham’s asking price to land Kyle Walker.

Known for his barnstorming runs and his ability to run up and down tirelessly, Walker will be hoping to settle in quickly and help Manchester City pose a serious challenge for the Premier League title this season. Needless to say, Walker now holds the world record for being the most expensive right-back in football.
