Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is close to joining Burnley after passing a medical at the Premier League newcomers.
The 35-year-old England right-back will sign a two-year contract with the Clarets, having spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Serie A side AC Milan.
The move will end Walker’s eight-year stay at City, where he won 17 trophies including six Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League.
He made 15 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side in the last campaign before joining Milan, who did not activate the option to sign Walker permanently.
Walker will link up at Burnley with head coach Scott Parker, who he played alongside at Tottenham during the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons.
The defender was part of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad during June’s international fixtures and won his 96th cap in a 3-1 friendly defeat by Senegal.
