Kyle Walker's worst nightmare! Premier League clubs step up interest in £25m Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao after Champions League demolition job of AC Milan
Three Premier League clubs are said to have stepped up their interest in Feynoord winger Igor Paixao after watching his demolition job on Kyle Walker.
The 34-year-old defender was given a torrid time by flying Brazilian forward Paixao during a Champions League outing at De Kuip. The South American netted the only goal of the game with just three minutes on the clock, as he beat Walker before firing in at the near post.
DID YOU KNOW?
Paixao, who also registered an assist in Feyenoord’s 3-3 draw with City earlier this season, now has eight goals to his name this term, while teeing up 14 more for grateful team-mates. That impressive output has attracted admiring glances from England.

WHAT NEXT?
According to The Sun, Tottenham, Newcastle and Bournemouth are all keeping a close eye on Paixao ahead of the summer transfer window. He is said to come with a £25 million ($31m) price tag, which may represent considerable value for money if his current standards can be maintained.
