"Walker has 'fire inside him'. Sergio Conceicao hopes the Englishman will take charge of the locker room"
That is how Corriere della Sera headlined this morning about Kyle Walker, who was officially introduced to the press yesterday.
Arriving on loan with an option to buy from Manchester City, the English defender, who can play as both a full-back and a center-back, was signed primarily for his leadership, experience, and personality.
Those are qualities that could be crucial in a locker room like AC Milan's.
These were Zlatan Ibrahimovic's words at yesterday's press conference, where he welcomed Walker.
"We are here to present the new signing, Kyle Walker. There's no need to introduce his qualities; he made history at City. This is a big signing, he’s a leader both on and off the pitch. Even though we have many right-backs, we couldn’t say no to Walker; it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. He will bring a lot to the team both on and off the field. We are confident he will be important for this squad. Welcome, Kyle!"
