Tottenham Hotspur defender Kieran Trippier already has seven assists to his name this season.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kieran Trippier has told Yahoo Sports that his understanding with Harry Kane has grown, as they frequently discuss where he should be crossing the ball in training.

Trippier has established a reputation as one of the finest crossers of the ball in the Premier League, after some hugely impressive performances in recent times.

The right-back has regularly set-up Harry Kane to score, with his whipped deliveries generally very accurate.

And Trippier says that he regularly talks with Kane about his crossing in training and before matches.

“I speak to H (Harry Kane) in training and before games – and not just him, other players as well,” he said.

“They like it in early – early crosses – and for me as a defender on the opposite side it’s horrible to defend against.

“I don’t try to pick anybody out, I just try to put it in the best place, the danger areas, and try to create as much as I can for my team-mates.”

Trippier’s crossing ability was once again showcased in Tottenham’s last match, as the Lilywhites beat Real Madrid.

Trippier set up Dele Alli to score the first with a wonderfully volleyed cross, and he was a constant menace down the right-hand side.

The former Burnley man already has seven assists to his name in just 12 Spurs appearances this season.

Trippier is likely to start for Spurs again in their next match, which comes against Crystal Palace at the weekend.
