Shay Given is optimistic that Kieran Trippier’s previous experience can help Newcastle United win the Premier League title. The England right-back has been a revelation since his switch from Atletico Madrid in January.
A two-and-a-half-year spell in Spain saw Trippier clinch the La Liga title just seven months before arriving on Tyneside. On the international stage, the 32-year-old has also helped England reach the World Cup semi-final and Euro 2020 final.
Toon supporters have applauded Trippier for his heroics both on and off the pitch. While spectacular free-kick goals or assists may grab the headlines, his noticeable leadership qualities have embodied the Magpies’ dramatic transformation.
