Burnley have secured the services of England defender Kyle Walker from Manchester City on a two-year deal. The 35-year-old right-back completed his medical on Friday and is set to reunite with head coach Scott Parker, with whom he shared the pitch during their time at Tottenham Hotspur.

Walker's journey with Manchester City was nothing short of spectacular. Joining the club in the summer of 2017, he made 319 appearances and was instrumental in securing 17 trophies, including the historic Treble in 2023. Despite making 15 appearances in the first half of last season, Walker moved to AC Milan on loan in January, though the Italian club opted not to make his stay permanent.

Burnley's Ambitious Summer Signings Walker's arrival at Burnley marks the club's fifth signing of the summer, following the acquisitions of defender Axel Tuanzebe, left-back Quilindschy Hartman, goalkeeper Max Weiss, and French winger Loum Tchaouna. Burnley, who were promoted back to the Premier League last season after their relegation in 2024, are clearly aiming to strengthen their squad for the challenges ahead.

A Reunion with Scott Parker The reunion with Scott Parker could prove to be a pivotal factor in Burnley's upcoming season. The duo previously played together at Tottenham Hotspur for two seasons, and their chemistry on and off the field could bring a new dynamic to Burnley's defensive line.

Looking Ahead As Burnley prepares for the new Premier League season, the addition of a seasoned defender like Walker could provide the stability and experience needed to compete at the highest level. Fans will be eager to see how this new chapter unfolds for both the player and the club.
