‘Without a doubt’: Alan Shearer thinks £12m Newcastle man is England’s best player in his position

Wed 9 November 2022 8:15, UK

Newcastle United’s start to the season has excee♊ded even the most optimistic Geordie’s expectations.

Eddie Howe’s side will go into the World Cup break having won six of their last seven games.

The foot🅷balling world is set to shift its focus to ✤Qatar from next week as top-flight domestic football is paused for a month.

All eyes will be on Gareth Southgate when he announces his final 26-man England s♔quad tomorrow.

One player who is set to be included is full-back Kieran Trippier.

Trippier has been one of Newc🐎astle’s best signings in years, and h🐎as helped transform the club’s performances.

The Magpies currently have the best defensive🐠 record in the Premier League, and have kept six clean sheets𝕴.

Trippier is so much more than �𒐪�just a defender though.

He possesses a wicked set piece delivery𓄧 and 🎃is a leader for Newcastle on and off the pitch.

Shearer has now said that Trippier is Engla𝐆nd’s best defender,🧜 and on current form it’s hard to disagree.

Trippier is England’s best defender – Shearer

: “Without a doubt I’d have Trippier in my defence, because💞 I think he’s England’s best defender in those positions.

“I know ♛Gareth (Southgate) had him left-back, he started the Euros with him there.

“But I would without doubt have him in my team.”

A month ago, versati𝓡lity may have been the reason he was included in Southgate’s s♔quad.

However, injuries to players such as Reece James and Kyle Walker has opened the door for Trippier to start in his preferrꦐed right-back position.

, much to the relief of Newcast𒊎le and England fans.

Trippier coul🤡d well be England’s bཧest defender right now, he just needs to get through two more matches unscathed before heading to Qatar.
