The Tottenham Hotspur right-back has been excellent this season.

Matt Le Tissier answers questions during Gillette Soccer Saturday Live with Jeff Stelling on March 19, 2012 at the Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, England.

Sky Sports pundit Matt Le Tissier offered high words of praise for Tottenham full-back Kieran Trippier, when writing his column for Sky Sports, suggesting that his final delivery is up there with the very best around.

The 27-year-old has been in superb form for Spurs this season, after finally nailing down a regular starting spot, following Kyle Walker’s £50 million move to Manchester City.

Trippier joined the Lilywhites from Burnley in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of just £3.5 million, and that is now beginning to look like nothing short of an absolute bargain.

The England international is a popular figure amongst the Tottenham fans, what with his lung-busting runs up and down the right flank, and he has really taken his game to another level this term.

Le Tissier is a big fan of Trippier, and suggested that his final delivery is up there with the very best, when writing his regular column for Sky Sports:

“I like Kieran Trippier, his delivery up there with the best around.”

The 27-year-old will have to be at his very best today, when his side head to west London to take on Chelsea, looking for their first win at Stamford Bridge since 1990.
