Walker’s Manchester City Throngs Guardiola with 3-1 Victory, Dethroning Premier League Legends!

Kyle Walker has declared his intention to retire from professional football "on my terms", although the Burnley defender is not yet ready to hang up his boots. The 35-year-old recently called time on his international career with England last week just three months before the World Cup, but remains committed to his club playing days for "a few more years", with a heartfelt ambition to finish at his boyhood club, Sheffield United. Speaking on The Overlap podcast, the right-back shared his perspective on the twilight of his career.

"I don’t know if I’ll continue playing for a few more years," he admitted. "I feel once that time in my head comes where I’m done, I’d have to be true to myself. Leave the game before the game leaves you.

" Despite approaching his 36th birthday in May, Walker insists he feels good, though acknowledges the physical demands. "It takes longer to recover, I can tell you that. One million per cent," he said.

"And probably now I’m probably doing a lot more defending than I’ve ever done in my career, but I feel good. It’s more for me upstairs and you fight your little battles in your head if you can keep doing it.
