Kyle Walker is Premier League living legend. Not just because of his time at Manchester City. The English full-back had reason to celebrate in the visit of the Sky Blues to Nottingham Forest. As confirmed by the BeSoccer Pro database, the Three Lions international reached 250 wins in the English top flight and is still in the fight for the league title.
This path of triumph was born on 27th March 2010. At the age of 19, at Tottenham and from the starting line-up, he witnessed first-hand the 2-0 win over Portsmouth on matchday 32 of the 2009-10 season. A path with the Spurs that continued in time until 2017. In all that time, four goals and 16 assists for 102 wins in 183 games. The first of those goals came against Arsenal at White Hart Lane.
But it is worth remembering Kyle Walker's brief spell at Aston Villa due to a lack of opportunities in London. In just 15 appearances during his loan spell at the end of the 2010-11 campaign, he recorded five victories with one goal and three key assists. He contributed to the scoring on 5th February 2011 in Fulham's visit to Birmingham.

Returning to the present, the place where he has gone from shadow to Premier League consecration is Manchester City. He made his league debut for the Cityzens on 12th August 2017 in a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Interestingly, so explosive was his arrival at the Etihad Stadium that he made his home debut against Everton by being sent off for 2 yellow cards in 2 minutes. He made amends by assisting Leroy Sane in the 5-0 win over Liverpool a few days later.
Counting the win at the expense of Nottingham Forest at The City Ground, he has 143 in 193 appearances for the Mancunian side in domestic competition. A record accompanied by 3 goals, 16 assists and numerous successful defensive performances and adapting to his transformation under Pep Guardiola. An old-fashioned right-back transformed into a centre-back in a triple fullback line.
