Man City kid Trippier tipped for big things

Manchester City academy boss Jim Cassell has tipped young fullback Kieran Trippier as one to watch.

He told the Manchester Evening News: "I know I am showing my age but he reminds me of former Everton great Colin Harvey. We play him at right back at the moment but he may end up being a midfielder. He is comfortable on the ball, has good feet, reads the game well and is not short of pace.

"Sven (Goran Eriksson) likes him and has had him at Carrington for a couple of days. I know he enjoyed it and came back a confident young man, but like the rest of the lads he has to keep his feet on the floor and just concentrate on working hard."
