Man City defender Walker: Captaincy an honour

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is delighted wearing the captain's armband.

Walker has been acting captain for the first weeks of the season.

“It's an honour," said Walker.

“To wear the armband that some of the players in the past have worn such as David Silva, Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero, is incredible.

“And off the back of a Treble-winning season, to then go and captain the Club for the first time and win the Super Cup, I have to admit, I felt very proud of myself.

“But the vote is going to come in and the lads will determine who they want to be their captain for the foreseeable season.

“And I wish whoever it is, all the success -hopefully it's me, but we'll see what happens."
