Kyle Walker easily settles in life in AC Milan.
The defender of England, 34, joined the Serie A Giants at Manchester City after eight trophy-loading for years.
But a new challenge in Italy is just the ticket for Walker in his twilight years.
He made his debut against fierce Rivals Inter in a 1-1 draw last weekend, and followed that with an impressive performance in the 3-1 Coppa Italia victory on Roma.
Walker, away from the field, enjoy his stay in the five -star Melia Milano Hotel.
It is a 40-minute journey to the training field, while he is closer to the San Siro stadium, which is a 10-minute ride.
Walker, who has collected a fortune of £ 27 million, has already enjoyed the fine cuisine of Milan.
He recently dined in the exclusive Coraje Restaurant – owned by a rival Inter Milan football player.
Sunsport takes a glimpse into the life of Walker in the industrial city.
Where he stays
While Walker acclimatizes his new environment, he stays in the Five Melia Milano Hotel in the city center.
If his six -month loan is a success, and the deal becomes permanent, expect him to split up the money in a lush place.
Rooms at the slim and stylish Melia Milano start at £ 400 per night and can cost no less than £ 880 per night for a business suite.
It is assumed that AC Milan has negotiated a deal for Walker to have a premium room in the hotel.
The Italian club regularly houses new arrivals when the player arrives from foreign coasts on loan.
On the hotel website it claims that the 'innovative design and elegance' has the hotel.
It is perfectly located – just a 15 -minute drive from fashionable boutiques, including Prada, Versace, Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci.
While restaurants Hollywood and Crazy Pizza are close by – and sturdy favorites for the stars of Milan and their Wags.
Where he plays
Fortunately for Walker, the Melia Milano is only an eight -minute drive to the San Siro, where his club plays their home games.
He could even walk the 1.1 miles away in without time.
However, Milan's amazing training field is a bit more a trip.
The Milanello Sports Center is a 300 meter high hill, about 31 miles away from the center and close to the old city of Varese – famous for its art nouveau villas.
Surrounded by a pine forest and pond, it not only offers his players Rust-er are ultramodern gyms, medical facilities and countless pitches.
The most interesting of these is 'De Kooi' – which is surrounded by a wall of 2.30 meters and a fence of 2.50 meters high.
The idea is that the ball continuously stays in the game, which increases the speed of dealing with the game.
With the help of the location there is a path of 1200 meters in the forest that is used for physical training, such as jogging and cycling, and for the recovery of injured players.
With whom he plays
Walker should feel at home in Milan – thanks to some familiar faces.
Because he is one of the four English players who are currently on the Roster of Milan.
This includes starting striker Tammy Abraham, who is on loan from Roma, ex-Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek and England defender Fikayo Tomori.
Better yet, Milan also has a WHOs WHO from former Premier League talent, against whom Walker will have encountered in the past.
The such by Christian Pulisic, Emerson Royal, and colleague loaner Joao Felix will all drive their trade in AC Milan while Walker is settling.
Where he eats
We mentioned Hollywood and Crazy Pizza as the places as hotspots for the best of Serie A, but in his first few days in the city, Walker dined in the Posh Coraje Eaterie.
Intriguing, for an AC Milan star, is at least a visit when entering in enemy territory.
It is co-ownership of Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez and his beautiful WAG Agustina Gandolfo.
Walker was accompanied by a consequence of Milan officials, which meant safety in figures.
And they would have enjoyed a solid meal with many Mediterranean favorites.
From rib eye steak to vegetable risottos, seafood and more the menu is extensive.
You also do not have to earn a salary from a football player to dine there – with main courses that cost somewhere between £ 17 to £ 30.
It is safe to say, Walker made it in Milan.
