Why Arsenal's World Cup Record Just Got Broken

4. Kyle Walker (England)

For about half a week, Kyle Walker was the world's most expensive defender. City teammate Benjamin Mendy's price may have surpassed Walker's, but when it comes to value, there's no contest.

For a modern footballer, the ex-Spurs man is pretty level-headed too: he reckons it'll take "a miracle" for England to win the World Cup. He's not wrong.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
