EXCLUSIVE How Burnley signed Kyle Walker - the inside story: The secret personal reason he chose them, his two huge incentives to keep Clarets up and how he's already helping bring more stars to Turf Moor
It started with a brainwave in a heatwave. Last month, in the restless early hours of a stifling morning – and with his club in the midst of a heavy recruitment drive for their forthcoming Mission Impossible – a senior Burnley executive had what he initially felt was a random thought: 'What about Kyle Walker?'

Fenerbahce table offer for Kyle Walker
Fenerbahce have submitted an offer to sign Kyle Walker, according to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu. Walker is set to leave Manchester City after eight years, despite claiming earlier this year that his time at the Etihad Stadium might not be over. Advertisement The England international, whose City contract runs until 2026, spent the second half of last season on loan with Serie A giants AC Milan, who opted against making his move permanent. 'When you come to say goodbye, it's hard,' he said via the Kyle Walker Podcast. 'After I said my goodbyes, Pep got up and spoke and said a really nice message to me, just saying thank you for everything. 'But listen, it's not over, I'm just on loan here. I've got to take into consideration that I can go back. 'Obviously, both parties need to come to an agreement by the end of the season. Listen, the chapter's not fully closed, but we'll see what happens.' Advertisement While he remains a target for Saudi Pro League clubs, Walker could be set to continue his career in Europe, with Fenerbahce now plotting a move to sign him. Off the back of four consecutive second-place finishes, the Yellow Canaries are eager to pip city rivals Galatasaray to domestic glory and are targeting some major acquisitions this summer. A move to Istanbul would allow Walker to play under Jose Mourinho, a manager he is familiar with after multiple encounters in English football. Fenerbahce are also eyeing a move for Dusan Vlahovic to replace Edin Dzeko, although his financial demands could prove to be a stumbling block. They have also been linked with a move for free agent Jonathan David, but will have to fend off competition from several clubs.
