Kieran Trippier is edging ever closer to the Tottenham exit, with reporting that he is close to a move to Atletico Madrid.

A medical is set fܫor the England international in the Spanish capital and a deal is close between the two 🍰clubs.

The report suggests that the fee agreed is around £25 million for the man currently paid £65k-a-week 𒁃at Tottenham,

Trippier netted a stunning free-kick in last summer’s World Cup semi-final, but his Premier League form failed to scale such heights during 2018/1🍰9.

Napoli, Bayern Munich and Juventus have all shown i♕nterest in Trippier during the transfer window,

The 28-year-old departing Tottenham will leave them in desperate need of🐈 reinforcements.

Mauricio Pochettino will fly to Singapore and Shanghai with Kyle Walker-Peters as the only recognised right-back in his squ♌ad.

Trippier will end a four-year association with Tottenham. He si༒gned from Burnley for £3.5 million in 2015.

TBR Verdict

A switch to 💟Atletico ꦐis a great move for the Spurs man.

Diego Simeone’s men finished above city rivals Real Madrid last season 🔜and are regulars in the Champions League.

It does leave Tottenham desperately short, 🎉however.

Pochettino must have something lined up to take place pretty imminently. It would seem very odd for the boss to let Trꦛippier go without contingen🅰cy plans in place.

So far this summer Tottenham have signed Tanguy Ndombe🅺le from Lyo𝓰n and their supporters will hope for more new arrivals.

Trippier’s pending departure will surely intensify the club’s search ღfor signings.
