Since there is no "player watch" thread on Kyle Walker I am starting one. I understand he's not among the most players at Spurs though.
He's been in for a lots of critic over the years - and rightly so, though at times the critic at times has been too much and wrong.
But in the few recent games it looks as if he's raised his game, quite a lot actually. I hope he keep his game at his new level.

Defender - KYLE WALKER (Tottenham)
It was a very professional display by Spurs at Bournemouth and arguably their best team performance this season. Admittedly Tottenham were not playing a team with the quality of Manchester City but that was not their fault.
Kyle Walker was impressive against City in the 4-1 win last month and even better against Bournemouth. The full-back is playing with so much confidence at the moment it's scary.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker put in a superb performance as his side crushed newly-promoted Bournemouth 5-1 at Dean Court.
The visitors got off the worst possible start, going 1-0 down within the first minute as Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie got the better of Danny Rose before firing past Hugo Lloris.
However, the hosts’ joy was short-lived and a Harry Kane equaliser from the penalty spot was soon followed by a burst of Spurs pressure which proved too hot to handle.
Kane helped himself to another two goals during his side’s 5-1 drubbing of Bournemouth and will rightfully earn the plaudits from Premier Leaguepundits and observers alike.

However, he wasn’t the only player to perform exceedingly well with Walker an influential figure in his usual attacking right-back spot, as illustrated by the table provided by Opta Stats above.
The England international contributed with four tackles, four interceptions, seven ball recoveries and 12 defensive duel winners – the latter as good as any other outfield player at Dean Court.
Walker is seemingly in a two-way tussle with Kieran Trippier for the regular right-back slot, yet based on recent performances between the two there can only be one winner.
