Kyle Walker has embraced his new start at Burnley, insisting he is not about to become a figure of fun as he prepares for his first Championship campaign in more than a decade.

According to Mirror Football, the former Manchester City defender is determined to take the challenge seriously and get Burnley back into the Premier League. Walker knows the second tier brings a different intensity, but he is ready to attack it head-on.

"I am not becoming anyone's meme," Walker said in the interview, pushing back against any suggestion he might treat the drop down lightly.

Burnley will hope Walker's experience can help steady the squad as they push for an immediate return to the top flight. Readers can find related match highlights on this site.
