For Anton Walkes, loan to Atlanta United about exposure, making most of it

ATLANTA — You know the tune Uber Eveywhere?

Well, Atlanta United defender Anton Walkes makes the infamous MadeinTYO song a reality. He lives in close proximity to the training facility and Ubers wherever he may need to travel. Maneuvering around seems to work out nicely for Walkes, but Ubering home, his native home – in Lewisham, England – may be bit of a stretch for the 20-year-old.

The Englishman is being loaned to Atlanta United by way of the Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League. His journey with Atlanta hasn’t been simplified to competing in front of large crowds, rolling deep into Bobby Dodd stadium.
