Kyle Walker gave a surprise answer when asked to name the best player he has played with at Manchester City.
Walker has been at City since 2017 and has racked up over 300 appearances for the club.
The defender currently plays with an array of stars including Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden.
However, Walker instead elected for a former team-mate as the best City player he has played alongside.
During his time at City Walker has won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups and four League Cups.

Walker revealed that he believes David Silva is his best ever team-mate at City.
Skillful midfielder Silva played for City between 2010 and 2020. He played 436 times for the club and scored 77 goals, while he provided 130 assists.
Speaking on the You'll Never Beat Kyle Walker podcast, when asked to name his greatest City team-mate, Walker said: 'David Silva'.
Former City player Michael Brown then asked Walker why he didn't choose De Bruyne.
Walker replied: 'People always ask me who the best player I have played with at City and it is David. I think he just pips Kevin.
'I think Kun [Aguero] was incredible but that is my personal opinion.
'He did things and you could pass him a ball and it would be a bad ball, but he would make it look like a good ball.

Walker went on to praise the impressive connection that Silva had with Leroy Sane.
He said: 'He wasn't the quickest, but with how he could turn and the manipulation of his body, and with him and Leroy [Sane] on that side the first couple of years, they complemented each other so well.
'He knew when Leroy wanted the ball, when he didn't want the ball, how he wanted the ball and I think, for me, David just knew what the team needed.
'Kevin does things that are incredible. The other day when we were playing West Ham, we have done a short corner and he has gone to shoot at goal.
'You will see that nine times out of 10 and don't do it but he will try that nine times out of 10.'
Silva finished his career back at Real Sociedad and retired in 2023.
