Real Madrid Plan £15m Bid for Tottenham Full-Back Kyle Walker

Walker Chelsea White Hart Lane full-back wanted by La Liga giants.

Check in to Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal

Tottenham defender Kyle Walker is a £15million transfer target for Real Madrid, according to the Sunday People.

The Spanish giants are tracking White Hart Lane star Gareth Bale in a £55million deal, but also want to take England international Walker to the Bernabeu as a replacement for right-back Alvaro Arbeloa who is set to leave the club in the summer.

Real Madrid are set for a summer of upheaval in terms of playing staff following a disappointing season in La Liga, and they want to take the 22-year-old Walker to Spain to introduce some pace into their defence.

Walker will have four years of his contract to run in the summer and would command a fee of at least the £15million mooted by the Sunday newspaper.

Tottenham and Real Madrid struck a “partnership agreement” last summer when Luka Modric completed a £33million switch from White Hart Lane to the Bernanbeu and that is set to be tested with the bid for Walker.

He could be joined in Spain by Bale, who Real Madrid are said to lead the race to sign. The Welsh international is also wanted by Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Juventus although Tottenham are hoping to fend off £55million bids by offering him a new contract worth £130,000 a-week.
