Tino Livramento is a professional footballer who plays for Newcastle United and England.

Eddie Howe hasn’t been able to spend as wildly as he might have expected after being hired by the PIF-owned Newcastle United as manager.

The defender has become an ever-present in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup-winning side and here is everything you need to know about him.

Who is Tino Livramento?

Valentino Francisco Livramento is a talented and versatile full-back capable of playing on either side of the pitch.

Livramento started his promising career in the Chelsea academy, having grown up supporting the London club.

He joined Chelsea aged just 7 and rose high enough through the ranks to be named on the bench for two Premier League games, but never made his debut before he was sold to Southampton.

Chelsea would once again live to regret selling such a promising young player as Livramento had a breakout season at Southampton in 2021-22, though it sadly ended with an ACL injury that would rule him out for over a year.

Yet, the lack of action in 2022-23 didn’t put Newcastle off, and they moved in to sign him in 2023. After taking a while to dislodge Kieran Trippier, he is now the club’s first-choice right-back.

Clubs Livramento has played for:

• Chelsea
• Southampton
• Newcastle United
