  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Walker joined Milan on loan from Manchester City in January but the move did not work out as planned. The veteran didn't play a great deal, partly due to injury, and some of his performances were subpar. Now, TuttoSport claim 'failure has the face of Walker' and that before games he imitates his 'role model' and WWE legend Triple H, by spitting water into the air.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Walker is facing an uncertain future. He appears to be surplus to requirements at City, and Milan have reportedly turned down the chance to sign him permanently this summer. The report adds his personal life troubles have not helped, highlighting how his Italian sojourn has not been a fruitful one.

  During the 35-year-old's stint with Milan, who ended the Serie A season way down in eighth, Walker made 16 appearances in all competitions. He got the chance to play in the Champions League but the Italian giants won't be competing in Europe next season after finishing outside of the qualification spots.
