Aston Villa fans are keen on the idea of signing Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid.
The Telegraph report that Villa are keen on the England international right-back, as Dean Smith looks to strengthen his side’s defence.
Although Trippier could be an expensive signing, Villa are hopeful that a deal could be done.
And their fans are enthusiastic about potentially seeing the right-back in action at Villa Park next season.
If Trippier was brought to Villa he would certainly be an intriguing addition to their squad.
Villa had one of the worst defensive records in the league last term, but Trippier should help them in that regard.
The 29-year-old has just been coached by Diego Simeone for a season, where his defensive instincts will have been improved.
Trippier also possesses a devilish delivery, which should help the service into Villa’s strikers.
If he was brought to the Midlands he would be in competition with the likes of Frederic Guilbert and Ahmed Elmohamady for a first-team place.
