Kyle Walker is now on the ground in Italy and is ready to undergo a medical ahead of his move from reigning Premier League champions Manchester City to Sergio Conceicao’s Milan.
Footage from various outlets shows that the England international has arrived at Linate airport in Milan. He arrived shortly after midday GMT and was spotted walking out of the terminal around 40 minutes later.

The 34-year-old is set to join Milan on an initial loan deal, which will be for free. The Rossoneri then have an option to make the deal permanent for a fee of €5m at a later date.
His arrival comes at convenient timing for Milan, as Emerson Royal, who has been the go-to starter at right-back this season, picked up an injury two minutes into last night’s Champions League victory over Girona, and could rule him out of action for around two months according to recent reports.
It remains to be seen whether Walker will be included in Conceicao’s squad to face Parma in Serie A at the weekend.
Ridiculous signing …but then …it’s Milan!
