Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has completed a move to Italian club AC Milan on loan for the remainder of the season.

The England defender completed a medical with the seven-time European Cup winners on Thursday.

Milan’s deal for Walker includes an option to buy the 34-year-old when his loan deal expires at the end of the season.

Walker, a six-time Premier League winner with City, joins fellow Englishmen Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham at the San Siro.

He will wear the number 32 shirt at Milan, and could make his debut when they host Parma in Serie A on Sunday.

Walker posted a lengthy and emotional statement to his Instagram page paying tribute to City after his transfer was confirmed, saying that signing for the club had been a “dream come true”.

“A huge thank you to so many people, the coaching staff, the kit men and all the backroom staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes,” he wrote. “You make every day enjoyable and provide the platform for us to perform at our best.

“To my team-mates, from the moment I walked through the door I felt at home. Thank you for the great memories and for all the success we have shared together. You are friends, but also family for life.

“To Pep Guardiola, thank you for believing in me and working so hard to bring me here in 2017. Together, we’ve celebrated 17 trophies, and your guidance has helped shape me into the player I am today. I’ll be forever grateful.”
