The Burnley right-back was an integral part of the Clarets' promotion to the Premier League and has looked equally impressive in the top flight. After being released by Manchester City aged 21, Trippier began his ascent as a regular assist-maker at Turf Moor. This led to him being named in the Championship PFA Team of the Year for two consecutive seasons. Whether Burnley avoid relegation or not, it's assumed that Trippier will remain at the level he belongs, but will he soon be an England international? Trippier has played for England at under-18, under-19, under-20 and under-21 level, although his last appearance came in February 2011.
