Young defender has a big future at Spurs
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp insists Kyle Walker will not be allowed to join Aston Villa permanently.
The 20-year-old right-back has been in fine form since agreeing his loan switch to Villa this winter, making six appearances and scoring two goals.
Walker, formerly of Sheffield United, was called up to the England squad for the recent friendly with Denmark although he has yet to earn his first cap.
Villa are thought to be interested in agreeing a permanent deal for the youngster but Spurs boss Redknapp is adamant he will remain at White Hart Lane.
"Kyle will be back here for sure, he's still learning and got miles to learn but he is a talent, a real prospect," he said in the
Express & Star.
"He has got all the attributes to be an England right-back of the future.
"He'll come back here and push for a place."
Gerard Houllier will now have to look elsewhere for a long-term full-back, although Walker still has plenty of time remaining on his loan deal at Villa Park.
