Tottenham defender Rose explains why he is not jealous of Walker

Tottenham defender Danny Rose has revealed that he is not jealous of his former team-mate Kyle Walker.

Walker left Spurs to join Manchester City during the summer transfer window. He has managed to almost double his wages in the process and is in line to win major silverware this season.

Rose caused controversy during the summer transfer window when he criticized Spurs for their transfer policy and claimed that he would be willing to leave the club to join a team that would offer him increased chances of winning trophies.

Speaking ahead of his side’s game against Manchester City this weekend, Rose said: “There’s no envy. Kyle fully merited his move and he’s got what he deserves.

“Over the last two to three years he has been the best right-back in the League. His assists and performances prove that. So I wish him the best of luck in every game he plays, apart from when he’s playing against us.

“Of course it will be nice to see him again if I’m selected on Saturday, but there will be no pleasantries between us until after the game. He’s the enemy this weekend.”
