Burnley are on the verge of securing the services of veteran right-back Kyle Walker from Manchester City, in what is seen as a strategic move to bolster their chances of survival in the Premier League.
Walker, deemed surplus to requirements at the Etihad, is set to conclude his top-flight career with a club in need of leadership and experience.
For Manchester City, the transfer offers an opportunity to free up space in their wage structure. Meanwhile, Burnley gain a seasoned defender who could serve as a vital pillar in their defensive setup.
Walker is expected to sign a two year contract at Turf Moor, bringing both quality and leadership to Scott Parker’s squad.
The move also marks a reunion between Walker and Parker, who previously played together at Tottenham Hotspur between 2011 and 2013 adding an intriguing dynamic to the collaboration.
Despite being 35, Walker is still regarded as capable of making a significant impact, particularly in guiding Burnley's backline through a challenging Premier League campaign.
