Tottenham defender Walker uses YouTube as training tool

Kyle Walker uses the internet to study rival defenders to help him become a better player. The Tottenham defender is renowned for his attacking runs but knows he has to improve the defensive side of his game and takes tips from the best to help him achieve that goal.

He said: "I liked Gary Neville, the way he played, before he retired. He never got beaten.

"There is Ashley Cole here in the England squad. As he goes forward, he rarely gets beaten.

"I try to take a leaf out of many players. Look at Daniel Alves (Brazil and Barcelona). Going forward, he is like a right midfielder when he plays.

"But first and foremost I need to work on my defending.

"I watch videos of players, mainly on YouTube. You can go on the web and look at each and every one of them so it is good. I look at all of them."
