The linked-away Tottenham Hotspur defender didn’t have a great game last night.
Has Kieran Trippier just played his last game for Tottenham Hotspur? Some fans think so.
Trippier was a beaten Champions League finalist on Saturday as Liverpool edged out Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid to win the competition for a sixth time.
The Spurs right-back didn’t have a bad game defensively, but his final ball in promising attacks often let him and his team-mates down.
The former Burnley defender, who joined the Lilywhites in 2015, could be playing in that stadium on a regular basis next season amid speculation [Gazzetta Dello Sport] that Atletico Madrid are interested in signing him.
Likewise, Napoli [The Sun] have also been heavily linked with the 28-year-old, who acknowledged the Tottenham fans at full time last night.
It was an emotional interaction for the England international, and some supporters believe that it might have been a goodbye from him.
It looked destined to be Trippier’s year after such an impressive display with England at last summer’s World Cup, inspiring them to the semi final.
But he didn’t bring his World Cup form back from Russia with him and, by his own admission, it wasn’t a great season overall.
