Kyle Walker - Header

Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell admits that he was surprised when Tottenham Hotspur recalled Kyle Walker.

Harry Redknapp recalled the 19-year-old from his loan spell at Bramall Lane just moments before the transfer window closed after he had earlier loaned out Alan Hutton and Kyle Naughton.

“It was a late decision,” Blackwell said.

“The paperwork came in 10 minutes before the 5pm deadline.

“Tottenham were within their rights to recall him so I’ve got no complaints.

“It was a complete surprise – but then football is full of surprises.”
