WHAT HAPPENED?
England international Walker has continued to generate plenty of negative headlines off the field courtesy of his affair with ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman that saw him father two children with the former Love Island contestant behind the back of long-time partner Annie Kilner.

DID YOU KNOW?
A loan move from Manchester City to AC Milan was intended to help the couple to save their marriage and bring divorce proceedings to a close. More questions have been asked of the pair following a January switch to Italy, but they are still working through their differences.

THE GOSSIP
On the field, Walker has settled quickly at San Siro and was included in Thomas Tuchel’s first selection as England coach. The 34-year-old is now said to be attracting positive interest away from the pitch as he prepares to join a modelling campaign from iconic fashion designer Hugo Boss.

WHAT A SOURCE SAID
A source has told The Sun: "He’s so excited about this, he can’t contain himself. He’s been reluctant to do anything like this in the past because he doesn’t like the spotlight, but things are different now. He’s loving his new lease of life with AC Milan and hopes his performances can help him reach 100 caps for England. But he’s also thinking about the future and has half an eye on life beyond football."

TELL ME MORE
Hugo Boss were one of the first brands that ex-Three Lions captain Beckham linked up with in his playing days. Walker is now treading a similar path, having already inherited the No.32 jersey in Milan that his compatriot wore during his loan stints with the Serie A giants.
WHAT NEXT FOR KYLE WALKER?
The Sun’s source added: "Kyle saw what Becks did and wants to follow in his footsteps to create something beyond football." Walker may also be looking to boost his bank balance as any separation from wife Kilner could cost him half of his supposed £27 million ($35m) fortune.
