How Big a Steal Is Kieran Trippier for Tottenham?
Tottenham's £3.5M acquisition of Burnley full-back Kieran Trippier was a wise move.
His potential was evident last season, as he excelled in a struggling Burnley side. It came as no surprise to regular watchers of the Championship, as Trippier had also been a major part of the Clarets' promotion push the previous season.
Burnley could realistically have fought for a better deal for their most valuable asset.
With two years remaining on his contract at Turf Moor, Trippier had little negotiating power to force a move.
