Cesc Fabregas has picked a weakness in the game of Manchester City and England international right-back Kyle Walker.
Walker in action for England against Serbia in UEFA Euro 2024 Group C on Sunday.
The Manchester City defender is one of the best right-backs in the world and has been a regular for England for years.
England head coach Gareth Southgate included the former Tottenham Hotspur star against Serbia on Sunday evening.
Walker was a force to be reckoned with down the right flank. It was his piercing pass that eventually led to England’s goal.
The 34-year-old also had a chance to double England’s lead, but he could not keep his composure.
Cesc Fabregas notes what Manchester City star Kyle Walker is missing
And that, according to former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, is a weakness of Walker that has stopped him from being recognised as one of the best right-backs in history.
Fabregas said about Walker on BBC One (8:56 pm, June 16, 2024): “In his career, if he could have had this little bit of composure in front of goal, in the last final moments, I think we would be talking about one of the best full-backs in the history of football.”
Kyle Walker is a Premier League legend
Walker does not score too many goals, and perhaps, as Fabregas notes, that is because he does not have the composure in front of goal.
The former Spurs star has scored only eight goals in 395 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
But Walker has given 36 assists and has helped to keep 130 clean sheets in those games. He has also created 37 big chances.
The England international has won the Premier League six times with City. He has clinched the UEFA Champions League once with the Citizens as well.
There is no doubt that Walker, whose transformation at City after leaving Tottenham has impressed Gary Neville, is a Premier League legend and is one of the best full-backs around.
