European duo chase Trippier

- By SIMON JONES

ATLETICO MADRID have joined Napoli by showing interest in Tottenham right back Kieran Trippier. The England wing-back has admitted he has struggled to match last season’s performanc­es but he is still a key part of a Spurs side that is in the Champions League semi-finals and third in the Premier League prior to tonight’s game with Brighton. Trippier, 28, has three years left on his contract but Tottenham are considerin­g adding two full backs this summer. Initial enquiries from Napoli and Atletico indicate offers will fall well short of their valuation. Napoli are willing to bid around £15million plus add-ons and Atletico will look for a similar deal, having already set aside £35m for Porto’s Brazilian left back Alex Telles. Manchester United and Everton have been linked with Trippier but are also keen on the Crystal Palace right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, as are Manchester City. TOTTENHAM vs BRIGHTON, tonight 7.45pm. TV: LIVE Sky Sports PL, 7.30pm.
