Since Tottenham have sold Kyle Walker to Man City to fund absolutely no signings (so far), they're likely to turn to former Burnley man Kieran Trippier to start at right-back. There's a good reason Walker was so highly valued by City - Spurs' style tasked him with getting forward a lot and they've actually got a great stand-in in the shape of Trippier.

In just 12 appearances last year (only half of which were starts), he provided an impressive 5 assists and 13 attempted assists. That's great going for someone who featured so little.

And then you've got the Spurs defensive line to consider generally: last year they shipped fewer goals than any other side in the Premier League and kept 17 clean sheets - the joint most with Man Utd. Assuming Trippier scores points on both fronts, he's worth a hell of a lot more than £5.5m.
