Tottenham fullback Walker-Peters: Am I ready for Messi?

Tottenham fullback Kyle Walker-Peters says he'll be ready if selected against Champions League opponents Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Walker-Peters, who replaced Serge Aurier at Leicester, says he is ready to play the biggest game of his life if needed.

Asked if it would be a dream or a nightmare to face Messi and Co, the 21-year-old said: “I think it's a bit of both! He's a top player but you want to play against top players — it's going to help you improve.

“If the manager needs me to play, I'll be ready," he added. “I feel like all the training I've been doing is for games like that. We don't know about the injuries yet — I'll just try my best to be ready."
