Tottenham Hotspur’s Kieran Trippier is wanted by Juventus, who might need a new right-back very soon.
Manchester City are closing in on a £54 million transfer – and it could affect Tottenham Hotspur.
According to The Telegraph, Pep Guardiola is close to signing Juventus right-back Joao Cancelo as competition for Kyle Walker.
And it’s Tottenham’s Kieran Trippier who looks like the heir apparent for the Portuguese defender.
The Times reported this past weekend that the Italian giants were plotting a £30 million move for the Spurs star.
And it seems logical that the closer Cancelo moves to City, the more urgent it is that Juve complete a deal for Trippier.
Fans of the North London club won’t be overly upset about losing the former Burnley man. His heroics at last summer’s World Cup seem a lot longer than a year ago.
The Tottenham man didn’t have a brilliant season under Mauricio Pochettino last term and for £30 million, that could be a brilliant price.
