Kyle Walker's Premier League Farewell? Man City Veteran Set for Everton Switch
So, big news in the football world today, and this one definitely caught my attention. Kyle Walker, the Manchester City stalwart and England international, looks set to start a new chapter in his career—with none other than Everton. That’s right. After an impressive career at the top, filled with silverware and speed that terrorised wingers across Europe, Walker is reportedly on his way to Goodison Park.
Now, for those who might be out of the loop, Walker has been on the fringes at City recently. Despite still having a year left on his contract, he was loaned out to AC Milan in January. It looked like he might make that move permanent, but things didn’t quite go as planned. Milan have decided not to pursue a full transfer, and that door’s closed. But in the Premier League, it looks like another one has opened.

Everton, managed now by David Moyes, see Walker’s experience and trophy-winning mindset as a valuable asset. And honestly, I get it. He’s 35, but he’s still got pace, grit, and more top-level experience than most defenders in the league. Moyes seems to want leaders in the dressing room, and Walker fits the bill perfectly.
There’s also a lot of noise around how things ended with Pep Guardiola at City. Reports suggest Walker upset Guardiola with his desire to leave mid-season, and that decision kind of sealed his fate. Since then, it’s been clear there’s no path back into the City lineup. They’ve moved on, focusing on rebuilding around new blood like Tijjani Reijnders. The Dutch midfielder is being groomed to emulate Ilkay Gündogan in midfield—a clear sign City are looking to evolve.
But back to Walker—this move to Everton isn’t just a footnote. It’s a statement. A chance for him to stay in the Premier League, in a team that ended last season strong and is aiming to climb even higher. From the outside, it looks like a short-term deal, likely one year, but if he performs and brings stability to Everton’s backline, who knows what could follow?
Also interesting—Walker reportedly had options abroad, with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray showing interest. Even Spurs might have tempted him with an emotional return. But for now, he’s chosen to stay in England, and Everton seems to be the lucky club getting a seasoned warrior.
So while it’s the end of an era at City, it might just be the start of an exciting new one at Everton for Kyle Walker. One thing's for sure—Premier League fans won’t have to say goodbye to him just yet.
