POLICE yesterday began a flashing inquiry into England’s Kyle Walker and seized CCTV footage of his drunken antics.
The married ace, 32, was at Man City training — but club bosses cancelled talks over a contract extension.
Two officers spoke to bar staff in Cheshire and could interview the £150,000-a-week star under caution for indecent exposure, which carries a maximum two-year jail term.
Walker could also be quizzed for outraging public decency, a common law offence that carries an unlimited fine and jail term.
To prove their case police would need to demonstrate that two or more people were nearby when the “lewd, obscene or disgusting” act was committed.
They do not necessarily need to have seen it, so long as there was potential for offence.

Cheshire Police last night said inquiries were at an early stage and that no arrests had been made.
Walker, who has three sons with model wife Annie, was due to hold talks today in a bid to extend his City contract beyond June 2024.
But bosses cancelled the meeting with immediate effect.
A source said the player appeared more concerned that the investigation would derail a deal than the threat of court.

They added: “His reaction sums him up perfectly.
“He appears to be not concerned about the embarrassment this has caused his family, the club and their fans. What he appears really worried about is whether this will damage his chances of a contract extension.
“That’s the problem right there. It demonstrates a complete contempt for what he’s done and the rules the rest of us have to abide by.”
Police spoke to staff at Revolution in Wilmslow, Cheshire, which Walker, two women plus male friends visited from 5.20pm to 7pm on Sunday.
Other clips showed him pawing at one of the women and snogging her.
City refused to address the scandal publicly yesterday, insisting his behaviour was a personal matter.
They said privately that Walker had not broken any club rules — despite footage clearly showing him exposing himself.
Women’s Aid, which campaigns against domestic abuse, said: “Indecent exposure is a serious issue, and those who expose themselves purposely in a public place will be seeing what they can get away with.
“If employers, including football clubs, do not take it seriously, it sends out a clear message about what is acceptable behaviour.”
