Gary Lineker: 'Kyle Walker cannot cross the ball'

Former Tottenham Hotspur and England forward Gary Lineker has claimed that the world's most expensive defender Kyle Walker, who joined Manchester City on Friday afternoon, 'cannot cross the ball'.

City are believed to have paid more than £50m to sign Walker from Tottenham Hotspur, with the right-back penning a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium after completing a medical.

Lineker, however, has revealed his surprise at Walker becoming the most expensive defender in the world.

Fullback, Kyle Walker becomes the world's most expensive defender at £50m plus. Imagine how much he would cost if he could cross the ball.
