A lot of expected of the Englishman, especially when it comes to contributing to attack.

In the 2018/19 season, the right-back scored once and produced five assists.

That was more than the contributions of Santiago Arias and Juanfran - last season's Atleti right-backs - combined.

Arias scored once and had two assists, while Juanfran didn't find the back of the net and had two assists all season.

Trippier is known as an attacking full-back and it's now up to Simeone to improve him as a defender at the same time as exploiting his offensive potential.
