According to the Express, Tottenham will demand £40 million for Kieran Trippier this summer, and if they do in fact sell him for that amount, it will surely go down as Daniel Levy’s best piece of business yet.

The 28-year-old joined Spurs from Burnley in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be in the region of £3.5 million, and he initially served as Kyle Walker’s understudy.

Trippier really came to the fore last season, however, performing to incredibly high levels on a consistent basis for both Tottenham and England.

He has really struggled this season, however, making a series of high profile mistakes, an it could now be argued that he isn’t Mauricio Pochettino’s first choice right-back.

And because of this, his future has been cast into doubt.

According to Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli are interested in signing Trippier, whilst the Sun report that Everton are also keen on the Englishman.

And with the Express claiming that Tottenham will emand £40 million for his signature, the north London outfit could be on the verge of completing a truly exceptional piece of business.

It could be argued that Trippier is actually worth nowhere near £40 million, but Daniel Levy has proven to be an excellent negotiator throughout the years, and it would be no surprise to see him work his magic yet again.
