Tottenham fullback Kyle Walker says he won't let his meteoric rise go to his head.
While Walker's meteoric rise has not gone unnoticed, he still feels he is learning his trade and wants to continue his development at Tottenham.
He told the Sunday Mirror: "I will never allow myself to get carried away. I am still learning the game and I'm a dedicated student on and off the pitch. I think you only get out of life what you put in, which is why I stay behind after training and watch every DVD of my games and look to improve every aspect of my game.
"I also think it's an enormous advantage for me to play in a team that has a very offensive mentality, as I like to get forward when I can.
"But, first and foremost, it's my defensive responsibilities that are most important. At this level, there is no room for complacency.
"You are up against world-class strikers and they will clinically punish the slightest mistake you make.
"The only advantage I have is that I started out life as striker, so sometimes that gives me a slight advantage because it enables me to second guess what they might be trying to do.""I am extremely fortunate to have players like Michael Dawson and Ledley King at Tottenham, who inspire me to do better.
