Tottenham soften stance on star: Man United and Man City informed of asking price
TOTTENHAM have reportedly softened their stance on Kyle Walker.
Kyle Walker faces an uncertain future at Tottenham
After being dropped for the FA Cup semi-final defeat against Chelsea and the north London derby win over Arsenal on Sunday in favour of Kieran Trippier, speculation has mounted over Walker’s future.
Manchester City have been keeping tabs, with Pep Guardiola eager to boost his homegrown quota of English players.
Moreover, Guardiola is keen to freshen up an ageing backline that includes Bacary Sagna and Aleksandar Kolarov.

Manchester United are also monitoring Walker’s situation, with Jose Mourinho desperate to shake up his defence.
Previously, Spurs were unwilling to listen to offers for Walker.
However, according to the London Evening Standard, circumstances have now changed.
Pochettino: Chelsea were more clinical than us
The report says Mauricio Pochettino will sanction Walker’s departure should an offer of at least £35million come in for him.
Walker is currently on a £70,000-a-week deal at White Hart Lane, but is aware that he could earn double that elsewhere.
It remains to be seen whether Pochettino will stick with Tripper for the trip to West Ham tomorrow (8pm).
