Trippier is in line to become Spurs’ first-choice right back

Kieran Trippier has signed a new five-year contract at Tottenham Hotspur with Maurcio Pochettino promising to give him the opportunity to establish himself as the club’s first-choice right back.

The England international has doubled his wages to £65,000 a week and is hoping to demonstrate that he is good enough to replace Kyle Walker, who will be sold to Manchester City later this summer assuming Tottenham’s Premier League rivals meet chairman Daniel Levy’s £40 million valuation.

Tottenham are planning to add another right back to their squad, with 23-year-old Porto defender Ricardo Pereira the club’s top target, but Pochettino is seeking genuine competition for places throughout and will give Trippier opportunities to prove himself.
