Kieran Trippier admits he's 'speechless' with excitement for Russia | OneFootball

Tottenham defender Kieran Trippier has admitted it’s “crazy” that he’s going to the World Cup with England.

The 27-year-old only made his debut for the Three Lions last year, but after a successful season with Spurs is tipped to start for Gareth Southgate’s men in their first game of the tournament against Tunisia.

And the former Burnley man has admitted that he’s relishing being apart of the squad for Russia.

“I made my England debut last year and if I thought then about having the chance to go to the World Cup and even starting…it’s an unbelievable feeling,” he told the official Tottenham website.

“I grew up up watching the World Cup and to now actually be a part of it, I’m speechless really.

“To be involved in a World Cup, just to be there and part of the squad and now people talking that I could start, it’s incredible. I can’t wait and whatever happens, I’ll give my all.”
