Everton are reportedly eyeing a summer deal to bring Burnley right-back Kyle Walker to the Hill Dickinson Stadium club. Toffees manager David Moyes wants to strengthen his options in the position ahead of next season and Everton have keen linked with a couple of right-backs so far. They could now make a concrete move for the former Manchester City star, with his experience and quality likely to come in very handy for the Merseyside club. Walker won six Premier League titles with City during the eight seasons he spent there. The Everton target is 36 years old but he is still raring to go having made 36 league appearances for Burnley last season, starting 35 times.
Walker joined Burnley on a two-year contract from Man City in a £5 million deal last summer and will sign for a nominal fee should he move to Everton. The former England international nearly joined the Toffees last summer and also years ago as a teenager. He could finally be linking up with them, with Moyes keen on working with him. The Bluer have already signed Brennan Johnson, Christian Norgaard, Hayden Hackney, Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl so far this summer.
Walker could become their sixth addition, and the former Tottenham Hotspur star will be a solid addition to their defence.
He got relegated with Burnley at the end of last season, and continuing his career in the Premier League could appeal to him.
