Manchester City have completed the signing of England full back Kyle Walker from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur on a five-year contract for a fee that could rise to NZ$93 million.

"Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of England international Kyle Walker," City said in a statement on their website.

"The right back joins from Tottenham on a five-year deal and has opted to take the number two shirt,"

The fee for the 27-year-old makes him the world's joint most expensive defender along with David Luiz, who left Chelsea for Paris St Germain in 2014.
