Tottenham Hotspur’s Kieran Trippier could move on this summer.

According to Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli’s first bid for Tottenham right back Kieran Trippier simply isn’t enough – and he’s actually interested in a move to Manchester United.

Spurs saw Trippier excel at the World Cup with England last summer, and he fared well when tasked with the challenge of becoming Tottenham’s first-choice right back after Kyle Walker’s exit.

However, Trippier hasn’t hit the same heights this season, and has been heavily criticised for poor defensive play and limited attacking input.

Trippier is still attracting interest though, and Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Napoli have already made a surprise bid of around €18million to €20million (£15.5million and £17.3million).

However, that bid simply isn’t enough for Spurs, as it’s believed they want around €35million (£30million) for the England international, with Napoli simply nowhere near right now.

It’s even added that Manchester United want Trippier, and the Bury-born defender is interested in joining Tottenham’s Premier League rivals this summer.

Spurs may not want to lose Trippier to a top four rival, but if they can get £30million for Trippier and reinvest the cash in another right back, Tottenham may well be tempted into a deal.
