Kieran Tripper: Celebrates his winning goal

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kieran Trippier has signed a new five-year deal with the club, according to a report.

The Times claim that the right-back, who recently made his England debut, has put pen to paper on the contract believed to be worth around £65,000-per-week.

Trippier joined Totenham in 2016 from Burnley and still had significant time remaining on his original deal.

However, with fellow right-back Kyle Walker expected to leave Spurs this summer, tying down Trippier had become a summer priority for Mauricio Pochettino.

The 26-year-old only started 11 Premier League games for the club last season, but was a regular in Europe and will now have a chance to firmly establish himself as the club’s first-choice right-back.
