Kieran Trippier has signed a new deal with Tottenham, committing him to the club until 2022.
The right-back joined Spurs from Burnley in 2015 and, following Kyle Walker s £50million sale to Manchester City earlier this month, appears to be the club s first choice, having enjoyed an extended run in the team towards the back end of last season.
Trippier made just 18 Premier League starts during his first two campaigns, but looks set to become a firmly established part of Mauricio Pochettino s plans as Tottenham aim to improve on their second-place finish in 2016-17.
His displays for Spurs earned the full-back a maiden England cap earlier this year, when he started the 3-2 friendly defeat to France in Paris in June.
We are delighted to announce that has si…
Day two at the Confederations Cup saw Cristiano Ronaldo take centre stage.
The Portugal superstar, who is thought to want out of Real Madrid due to accusations of tax fraud in Spain, played 90 minutes as the Euro 2016 champions were denied a winning start by Mexico s Hector Moreno in a 2-2 draw.
Chile then got the better of Cameroon 2-0 thanks to late goals from Arturo Vidal and Eduardo Vargas.
Away from the on-field action, there was plenty going on around Russia and Omnisport s team on the ground was on hand to get the best bits.
SO FAR, SO-CHI GOOD

Hoping to make an immediate return to winning ways in midweek, Napoli will welcome Bologna to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Thursday night.
Napoli
Starting with the hosts, while Napoli would have been disappointed to have only collected a single point over the weekend, the mood in the Blues camp should be at a red-hot high. Playing out a 0-0 stalemate away at Roma, Luciano Spalletti s squad have only continued to gain a host of plaudits from across Italy since opening the 2021/22 campaign. Managing to muster a staggering points tally of 25 and with their sights set on making a shock charge for the Serie A title this season, their new boss has been filled with praise for his side s remarkable start. While Gli Azzurri might have…
the Chelsea could attempt to resign Romelu Lukaku from Everton.
The Belgium international scored twice as the Toffees beat the Blues in the quarter finals of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.
That brace took his season’s tally to twenty-five in all competitions ten more that Chelsea hitman Diego Costa, who has been linked with a summer move away from Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku moved to Goodison Park, initially on loan in the summer of 2013 and has since racked up one hundred and seventeen appearances in all competitions, scoring sixty-one goals.
Whilst he was at Chelsea, he failed to score in fifteen senior appearances though he did have a successful season-long loan spell at West Bromwich Albion in 2012/13.

Brazil captain Neymar has reiterated his desire to represent his country at their home Olympics in Rio this year, despite a hectic close-season schedule.
Barcelona star Neymar could feature for Brazil at the Copa America Centenario starting in June, before the Olympics get under way in Rio in August.
It remains to be seen whether he will play in both tournaments, with Brazil coach Dunga set to meet Barca counterpart Luis Enrique to discuss the forward s commitments.
But Neymar, who would qualify as one of Brazil s three over-23 players in Rio, says he is desperate to play his part in the country s quest for a first Olympic gold in football.
For me, to play once again at the Olympics would be a dream, a great honour to represent Brazil once again at th…
Stoke City could face a battle to keep Marko Arnautovic after the Austria international expressed his desire to play in the Champions League.
Arnautovic enjoyed his best season in the Premier League in 2015-16 as he formed part of an attacking trio with Bojan and Xherdan Shaqiri.
The 27-year-old, who moved to the Britannia Stadium in 2013, scored 11 times for Mark Hughes side in a campaign that saw Stoke finish ninth.
Arnautovi, who has one year left on his deal, has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 club reportedly keen to take advantage of an apparent £12.5million release clause.
And a move to the French champions would help Arnautovic achieve his dream of playing in Europe s elite club competition.
I hope of course it […
Rob Page has hit back after Cardiff manager Erol Bulut complained over the lack of communication from Wales about including Aaron Ramsey in their Euro 2024 play-off squad.
Wales captain Ramsey has not started a game for six months and had played only 72 minutes in that time when Page named him in his squad for Thursday’s semi-final against Finland.
Bulut was unhappy Wales did not contact Cardiff before recalling Ramsey, saying he had expected to speak to Page or a member of his management team.
Ramsey returned from a calf strain to play 18 minutes at Swansea last Saturday, and the 33-year-old midfielder is expected to be on the bench against Finland.
Asked about Bulut’s comments, Page said: “I don’t know what all the fuss is about to be honest.
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said he always knew departed Inter boss Leonardo did not want to be a coach.
Leonardo called it quits from Inter on Saturday and has been linked to a move to Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint-Germain, where he is expected to take on a role as general manager.
Galliani, who helped give Leonardo his first opportunity as a manager with the Serie A champions in 2009, said he was not surprised by his decision to leave Inter.
I didn t expect it to happen so suddenly, but I know that Leonardo has always wanted to cover a managing role instead of being a coach, he said on Monday.
It had taken me more than three months to convince him to work as a coach. He has always preferred being a manager instead of a coach, but I don t kn…
Melbourne Heart have secured the services of former Melbourne Victory grand final hero Fred.
The 32-year-old, who has spent the past four seasons win the MLS with DC United and the Philadelphia Union, has been lured back to the A-League by the Heart.
Fred achieved great praise for his performances in his one season for Melbourne Victory in 2006-07, where he played a major role in the famous 6-0 grand final demolition of Adelaide United.
He left the Victory in controversial circumstances, taking up a big-money move to DC United. He scored 11 goals in his first spell with the club, before returning for a guest stint with Wellington Phoenix in 2008.
He then scored four goals in 25 games when out on loan with Philadelphia before returning to Washington for t…
