Atletico Madrid Signs Keiran Trippier [[Category:]]

England right back Kieran Trippier has signed for Atletico Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur, the two clubs said on Wednesday.

Trippier played a leading role in England’s run to the last four of the 2018 World Cup, scoring from a free kick in their 2-1 semi-final defeat by Croatia.

He also helped Spurs to the Champions League final for the first time in their history last season, where they were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool in Atletico’s Wanda Metropolitano stadium.

Trippier will be the first English player to play for Atletico in La Liga and the third British player in Spain’s top flight next season alongside Scottish forward Jack Harper of Getafe and Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale.
