London's "Tottenham" announced that right-back Kieran Trippier has signed a new contract that will run until 2022. This news is important because the "Spurs" recently sold Kyle Walker, who played in the same position. Since a replacement for him has not been acquired, it may mean an increased role for Trippier. The Englishman, who arrived from "Burnley" in 2015, played only 22 matches in all competitions last season, but the coach trusted him at the end of the season when he had a conflict with Walker. "Of course, I am happy with the news and the new contract," - said Trippier. "It is a great achievement for me and I am just delighted to have signed it." "I always believed I could play at the highest level and, as I have said, I work very hard even when I am not playing. I kept my head down in training and matches and worked harder for my opportunities." "At the end of last season, I got my chances, so I will strive to play as best as I can." Throughout all matches, the 26-year-old footballer managed to make seven assists, five of which were in the Premier League.
