Everton are interested in signing Kieran Trippier from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

According to the British tabloid, Everton are planning to make a £12 million offer for the 26-year-old defender.

The Toffees reportedly want the right-back as a replacement for Seamus Coleman, who could be out of action for at least a year with a double break in his leg.

Good move from Everton?

Trippier is a good right-back and has proved himself in the Premier League with Burnley.

The former England Under-21 international has struggled to play regularly for Tottenham, and is clearly behind Kyle Walker in the pecking order.

Everton do need a quality right-back not only to play in place of Coleman but also to compete with the Republic of Ireland international in the long run.

Trippier has a lot of quality and his best years are ahead of him. Everton would be making a very smart signing if they are able to secure the services of the former Manchester City prospect.
