Walker was one of five Tottenham players in the England team last season and he sees similarities with City’s England quartet and says they can thrive together at next summer’s World Cup.
“We have John Stones, Fabian Delph, Raheem Sterling and myself all in the England squad and it’s great that we play and train together all the time for City and England,” said Walker.
“That can only be good for us at international level and for our club.
“When I was a Spurs, we had myself, Eric Dier, Danny Rose, Dele Alli and Harry Kane all in the England squad and it’s getting the same here at City.”
Walker also says Delph’s England career can only benefit from his recent left-back displays for City.
Delph was one of the Blues’ most impressive performers against Shakhtar and Chelsea and is likely to see plenty more minutes in Benjamin Mendy’s absence.
Delph was recalled to the England squad for the games against Slovakia and Lithuania but was forced to withdraw having picked up a slight knock against Chelsea.
Walker, however, says Delph can book his place in the England World Cup squad by continuing his City form, whether at left-back or in midfield.
“Fabian is a seasoned professional and he’ll be able to adapt to wherever he’s asked to play for club or country and will give his all each time,” said Walker.
“He knows his midfield role inside out so if he’s left-back for us – which is something new for him – but in midfield for England, he’ll slip back into either position with no problem.
“He’s a great professional and no matter where you play him, he’ll do the job to the best of his ability.”
