According to the Daily Mirror, Tottenham Hotspur right-back Kieran Trippier is wanted by both Juventus and Napoli and that could play right into Daniel Levy’s hands.

Juve and Napoli are both said to be prepared to battle for the Tottenham right-back, who Mauricio Pochettino is prepared to sell.

Spurs have set their asking price for £25 million, but they are aware of the possibility that a bidding war could occur.

Levy’s negotiation skills are famed and with sides queuing up to take Trippier he can now use them to good effect.

Tottenham are in the position of power, as they know that both Juve and Napoli are very keen to take Trippier off their hands.

And if Tottenham can land a big fee for Trippier then it could boost Mauricio Pochettino’s transfer budget significantly for the summer.
