Kyle Walker has revealed that a conversation with Tammy Abraham played a significant role in his decision to join AC Milan from Manchester City. The England international defender completed a loan move to the Rossoneri until the end of the 2024-25 season, with an option to buy clause included for €5 million.
Walker, who becomes the ninth English player to don the Milan jersey, has credited Abraham for helping him make the decision. “Tammy told me I should come, he helped me make the decision,” Walker said in an interview with Milan’s internal media channels.
The 33-year-old defender joins a long list of English players who have represented Milan, including Jimmy Greaves, Luther Blisset, Ray Wilkins, Mark Hateley, and David Beckham. Current Milan players Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Abraham have also paved the way for Walker’s arrival.
Walker’s move to Milan marks a new chapter in his career, and he will be eager to make a meaningful contribution to the team’s success. With Abraham’s influence playing a part in his decision, Walker will likely feel at home in Milan, surrounded by familiar faces and a rich history of English players.
