Kyle Walker has revealed that a conversation with Tammy Abraham played a part in his decision to join Milan from Manchester City.
Walker joined Milan on a loan deal until the end of the 2024-25 season with an option to buy clause included at a price of €5m.
There is already an agreement in place over a contract until the summer of 2027 should the Rossoneri activate his buy-out option.
Walker becomes the ninth England international to sign for Milan following in the footsteps of past icons Jimmy Greaves, Luther Blisset, Ray Wilkins, Mark Hateley, David Beckham and current stars Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Abraham.
“Tammy told me I should come, he helped me make the decision,” Walker said to Milan’s internal media channels, quoted via Sky Sport Italia.
The England international also spoke about the Milan fans and his reason for choosing the 32 shirt.
“The fans here are incredible, hearing them sing and feeling their support means a lot and it’s going to be a big boost until the end of the season.
“I chose the number 32 shirt because of David Beckham, an icon in our country,” he revealed
