Ranking the top 10 right backs in the world

#6 Kieran Trippier (Tottenham)

Trippier has picked up the nickname 'Bury Beckham'

A year ago, very few people would have expected Trippier to be on this list, but he has had a quite remarkable 12 months. He has made the most of Kyle Walker’s move to Manchester City and has become Tottenham’s first choice right back, despite the signing of Serge Aurier from PSG. He has become a top right back in that time and was a part of Tottenham’s excellent defensive record last season.

Tripper really came to the fore during England’s impressive run to the World Cup semi-finals, where he was named in the Team of the Tournament. It was his attacking side of the game that was most notable, as he created the most chances of any player in Russia. He also showed himself off as a set-piece specialist, netting a brilliant free kick in the semi-final against Croatia. His defensive side of the game is also excellent, and you rarely see him lose a battle with the opposition winger.
