Kyle Walker has revealed David Silva, and not Kevin De Bruyne, is the best player he has played alongside at Manchester City.
Walker is now into his seventh season at the Etihad Stadium, in a spell which has seen him win 17 major trophies. He has played alongside some superb players during that time but he had no hesitation when asked to name the pick of the bunch.
“David Silva,” Walker replied when asked on the ‘You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker podcast’ who was the best player he has played with.

When podcast guest, and former Man City midfielder, Michael Brown asked why he didn’t pick De Bruyne, Walker added: “People always ask me who the best player I have played with at City and it is David. I think he just pips Kevin.
“I think Kun [Aguero] was incredible but that is my personal opinion. He did things and you could pass him a ball and it would be a bad ball, but he would make it look like a good ball.
“He wasn’t the quickest, but with how he could turn and the manipulation of his body, and with him and Leroy [Sane] on that side the first couple of years, they complemented each other so well.
“He knew when Leroy wanted the ball, when he didn’t want the ball, how he wanted the ball and I think, for me, David just knew what the team needed.
“Kevin does things that are incredible. The other day when we were playing West Ham, we have done a short corner and he has gone to shoot at goal. You will see that nine times out of 10 and don’t do it but he will try that nine times out of 10.”
