Newcastle United’s Kieran Trippier is one of the greatest right-backs to grace 21st-century football.
After progressing through the academy ranks at Manchester City, Kieran Trippier eventually moved to Burnley where he started to make a name for himself. This led to a £3.5m move to Spurs in 2015, where he set the Premier League alight. He spent four years in North London, before a small venture to La Liga with Atletico Madrid.
But then in 2022 – he made arguably his best move yet. Eddie Howe and his coaching staff brought him to St James’ Park, where he revitalised his career and cemented himself into Newcastle folklore as one of their best-ever players.
