Trippier full of praise for Newcastle rival Livramento

Newcastle United veteran Kieran Trippier has backed youngster Tino Livramento to establish himself in the team.

Livramento, who can play in either full-back position, arrived in the summer from Southampton.

While the £32 million summer signing has not always started this season, Trippier believes he is a future England star.

Per the Belfast Telegraph, he said: “Tino, for such a young guy, is unbelievable.

“I've had loads of talks with Tino, firstly to try to help him. I know he's my position, but I don't want to be selfish.

“He'll be unbelievable for Newcastle in the future and an England right-back as well. That's how highly I rate him."
