Kyle Walker is now the most expensive defender in the world. Make of that what you will.

The right-back made it into the Premier League's Team of the Year last season, but his £50million fee has still raised a few eyebrows.

Towards the end of the campaign, he wasn't even Mauricio Pochettino's first choice, as Kieran Trippier displaced him for the big games against Arsenal and Manchester United, as well as the FA Cup semi-final versus Chelsea.

The England international seemed to deteriorate once full-back partner Danny Rose was injured in January, so Spurs fans will have mixed feelings about his departure.

It's a pity that his time in north London had to come to an end, but equally, it was the right time for him to go.

The only qualms a lot of supporters will have is that Daniel Levy chose to sell to a Premier League rival.

Pochettino's men finished eight points ahead of City last term, but at the rate Pep Guardiola's been spending, it'll be difficult to achieve that feat again - especially as Tottenham are now the only top flight club not to have made a signing this summer.

Spurs fans are divided on the sale 

It remains to be seen what kind of reception Walker will get - that could depend on whether Spurs cope without him.

Ultimately, though, there's not too much bitterness towards the former Sheffield United man. He gave Spurs eight years of service and gave his all for the majority of his time at the club.

However, his latest comments threaten to dent his relationship with his former fans.

It's natural that he should want to sing City's praises, but you can't help thinking he was having a dig at his former employers in the process.

All about trophies 

"With the size of the club, we need to go on and pick up silverware, get trophies left, right and centre, and hopefully that can add to my CV because I haven't won that many things so far in my career," Walker told CityTV, per talkSPORT.

"Tottenham was a great club...But sometimes your path isn't there and you have to move on and what a place to come and take a different path. Just win trophies - that's all I'm about and all I want to do.

"Hopefully we win titles, that's what I've come here for; the most important thing is actually winning a title."

Actually winning a title? Savage.

It'll be interesting to see which team comes closer next season.

Who'll finish higher - City or Spurs? Have your say in the comments.
