Manchester City could announce the signing of England right-back Kyle Walker from Tottenham as early as Friday.

The deal, reported to be worth up to £50million, is set to be completed by the end of the week.

Guardiola has been looking to bolster the City rearguard after seeing veterans Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy all released at the end of last season.

Walker, 27, will bring with him the experience of more than 180 Premier League appearances for Spurs, whom he joined from Sheffield United in 2009, and is expected to join up with the rest of the City squad for next week’s tour to the United States.

City are also said to have been tracking Monaco left-sided defender Benjamin Mendy.
