Alan Shearer has 'no doubt' that Kieran Trippier will follow in his footsteps and captain Newcastle United after the new signing made an instant impact on and off the field.
Trippier's presence was felt in the dressing room from the moment the England international addressed his team-mates after completing his £12m move from Atletico Madrid.
It was the calm Trippier, for example, who spoke up after the humiliating defeat against Cambridge United and told those around him to simply put the loss out of their minds and take one game at a time.
