Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino: 'It will be good to see Kyle Walker'

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he has a "very good relationship" with Kyle Walker.

Walker left Spurs to link up with Manchester City during the summer, and the right-back will face his former side when the two clubs meet at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.

Walker may receive a mixed reception from the travelling supporters, but Pochettino has claimed that it will be "good to see" the England international.

The 45-year-old told reporters: "We keep a very good relationship. It's always good, after three seasons together, when a lot of things happened.

"It's always good to see the players that were with you and players that did a lot for the club, or did a lot for myself, to try to help me to achieve all that we wanted, and it's good to see him because we're people that did a lot for him to try to achieve all that he wanted. In the end. It's good to see him."

Walker made 229 appearances for Spurs in all competitions during his eight years in North London.
