Man City step up move for Tottenham star after manager row: Man United also in the race
MANCHESTER CITY are ready to launch a summer move for Tottenham ace Kyle Walker, according to reports.
Kyle Walker is on Manchester City's radar for this summer
Walker was dropped for Tottenham's FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea and the north London derby victory on Sunday.
The England defender was seen as the top right-back in the country but a row with Mauricio Pochettino has put his future in doubt.
And now the defender looks set to quit White Hart Lane despite signing a new contract earlier this season.

Manchester City are keen on Walker as they look to add to their full-back options and their English quota, according to the Daily Mirror.
Pep Guardiola will sign at least two full backs having stuck with Bacary Sagna, Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and Aleksander Kolarov this term.
And Walker would add the energy Guardiola needs to help turn City into league challengers.
Manchester United have also monitored Walker this season and may increase their interest but City are the front runners.
