Walker delighted with new Man City contract

England defender Kyle Walker has committed his future to Manchester City this week.

The 33-year-old was linked with a move away from the club in the summer, with Bayern Munich interested.

However, Walker has now signed a two-year extension to his contract with the Citizens.

"I'm thrilled to sign a new deal. My future is with Manchester City and that is the best thing for me," Walker said.

"I've enjoyed every single moment of the past six years at this fantastic club. I have an amazing coach, great team-mates and staff and our fans are the best. I feel supported on every single level."

"We are very happy that Kyle will be here until 2026," added director of football Txiki Begiristain.

"For me, he is the best right-back in the world, a player with a unique set of attributes. He brings a very special dynamic to our team. Kyle has been a huge part of our recent success."
