Tottenham news: Kyle Walker on Victor Wanyama and Moussa Dembele

Former Tottenham defender Kyle Walker says former midfielders Victor Wanyama and Moussa Dembele were always going to be effective at Spurs given how they performed in training.

The full-back played alongside the duo who formed a dynamic partnership in the middle of Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

“I remember at Tottenham when Wanyama and Dembele were there and in training you used to hear that sound of the legs just smashing against each other,” he told The Kyle Walker Podcast.

“They were two big, big lads , and you half winced when they went into a challenge there because you know that they both fully committed to it.

“They didn’t want to hurt each other – obviously they were playing for the same team – but it showed their desire. They wanted to be the best in training and I think that just shows why they both had such fantastic careers.”

Walker has also spotted a Premier League rival that plays like his former team-mate Danny Rose.

Speaking on The Kyle Walker podcast, he highlighted Arsenal full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly: “He is physical. He reminds me of a little bit of a guest that we had on the first season – Danny Rose.

“It’s how he plays. He uses his body well and he’s got a good left foot on him and a good football brain.”
