Kyle Walker Reveals Which Trophies He’d Trade for Euro 2024 Glory
In a shocking revelation, Manchester City and England right-back Kyle Walker has stated that he’d be willing to trade in all his existing trophies for the chance to win Euro 2024 with the Three Lions.
The 34-year-old has started every game for England in the tournament, forming a solid defensive trio with Harry Maguire and John Stones. His impressive displays have been a key factor in England’s success, and Walker’s commitment to the team is evident in his desire to lift the trophy.
Walker has won 17 trophies during his seven-year spell at Manchester City, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League crown. However, he believes that winning Euro 2024 would be a more significant achievement.
When asked by talkSPORT presenter Faye Carruthers how much it would mean to him to lift a trophy with England, Walker replied, "I was saying to Harry Kane this morning. Not all the trophies that I’ve won for Manchester City – I’d like to keep one of each – but every other one I’d quite happily swap for this one. Without a question, I’d give it up now."
Walker’s comments highlight the importance he places on international success, and the desire to bring glory to the England national team. His willingness to sacrifice his individual achievements for the team’s benefit is a testament to his dedication and commitment.
The full-back was also asked about Gareth Southgate’s future as England manager, with the boss yet to make a decision about whether he’ll stay in his post even if England win the final on Sunday. Walker showed his appreciation for Southgate’s leadership, saying, "Not many managers can say they’ve achieved in an England shirt what he’s achieved. Whatever Gareth would like to do, that’s down to him. He convinced me to carry on after Qatar. So maybe I ask in return, or for the favour, for him to carry on. But again, he’s the boss, he’s the gaffer and he needs to make sure that he gets to decide his own destiny."
Walker’s words will resonate with England fans, who are eager to see their team lift the trophy for the first time since 1966. As the team prepares for the final against Italy, Walker’s comments serve as a reminder of the importance of teamwork and the sacrifices that must be made to achieve greatness.
