Tottenham star Kieran Trippier sets his sights on Kyle Walker's England place after bamboozling Real Madrid

Kieran Trippier has won the battle to be Tottenham's first-choice right-back and now he wants to claim a starting spot for England too.

Trippier was included in Gareth Southgate's 25-man squad on Thursday and is likely to be given a chance to impress in friendlies against Germany and Brazil later this month.

Southgate knows Trippier's quality, having watched from the stands on Wednesday as the full-back bamboozled Real Madrid with his attacking verve and pinpoint crossing.

Spurs demolished the European champions to seal progress to the Champions League last 16 and while Dele Alli scored twice in the 3-1 win, Trippier was arguably man of the match, laying on Alli's first goal with a skimming delivery into the box.
