Tottenham Hotspur’s Kieran Trippier is reportedly wanted by Everton.
According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur are ready to offload right back Kieran Trippier this summer – and Everton are keen to sign him.
Trippier was an England hero at the World Cup in Russia last summer, producing great quality into the penalty area whilst even scoring a sublime free kick against Croatia in the semi-finals.
Many expected Trippier to impress again this season, but he has endured a disappointing campaign, receiving huge criticism from fans throughout the season.
Poor defending, limited attacking outside of crossing and a recent own goal against Chelsea has left Tottenham supporters all but done with Trippier, feeling he needs to be replaced.
Now, The Sun claim that Spurs do intend to sell Trippier this summer, and Premier League rivals Everton are believed to be interested in a £20million swoop.
That would involve the 28-year-old moving back up north, having been born in Bury and started out his career with Manchester City before flourishing with Burnley.
That may well be appealing to Trippier, allowing him to head back to nearer his roots in a bid to get back to his best form whilst Spurs could reinvest the cash elsewhere; they won’t get much more than £20million down the line.
Everton need a right back after some hit-and-miss displays from Seamus Coleman, and Trippier would fit the bill, giving Marco Silva another option in that area of the pith if they can tempt him to make the £20million move to Goodison Park.
