The Tottenham Hotspur star is reportedly courting major interest.

Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter aren’t buying the latest rumour about Kieran Trippier.

According to The Sun, Real Madrid are interested in the 27-year-old and are willing to pay an English-record £50 million to sign him.

The speculation comes on the back of Trippier being arguably England’s best performer during their World Cup campaign in Russia.

The former Burnley man, who joined Tottenham in 2015 for a meagre £3.5 million, has certainly enhanced his reputation among neutrals and Spurs fans alike.

And some supporters of the North London club aren’t loving the idea of losing him now.

Indeed, Real, who have Dani Carvajal as first-choice right-back, have already spent the guts of £28 million on Alvaro Odriozola to rival the Spaniard next season.

And although the Tottenham ace did not impress in a traditional right-back role for the Three Lions in Russia, that is where he would be playing if this was accurate.

Trippier only signed a contract last summer and it seems unlikely that Lilywhites chairman Daniel Levy would be willing to sell – well, probably not.
