Newcastle full-back Tino Livramento has said club team-mate Kieran Trippier has been an immense help since his move to the Magpies, following his first England call-up.
The former Southampton defender told BBC Radio 5 Live: “He has been an immense help to me, not just football-wise, but helping me settle. It’s tough when you move from a club which is furthest south to a club which is furthest north.
“He helped me get settled straight away and then on the pitch he’s just a different level. [He is] someone who I look up to and watch every day in training, trying to take parts of their game into mine.”
Livramento, 21, will hope to make his senior international debut in one of England’s upcoming Nations League matches against Republic of Ireland and Finland.
Kyle Walker, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Trippier – who has since retired from international football – were the right-back options in England’s Euro 2024 squad, while others such as Reece James and Rico Lewis could also come into contention for that role.
“I think that just shows the quality coming through in every age group and now it has got to the seniors,” added Livramento. “There are so many quality players in that position.
“Hopefully I get given an opportunity and then I will have to take it.”
