KIERAN TRIPPIER seems likelier than ever to exit Tottenham after Atletico Madrid joined Napoli and a host of Premier League clubs in hunting the England right-back.

The Spanish giants are thought to be lining up a bid of around £15million as Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino plans a big summer reshuffle.

Trippier, 28, admits he has been below-par this season and Pochettino is believed to be willing to sell if the price is right.

Napoli are strong admirers of Trippier but reports in Italy say the Serie A side fear bidding could rise way beyond their means – even up to £40m.

Manchester United and Everton are among the Prem teams keen on Tripper, despite his form fading after an outstanding World Cup.

But Crystal Palace’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the top right-back target for the English elite.

United and champions City appear best-placed to lure the 21-year-old.

Meanwhile, Pochettino could bring in around six senior players in the next transfer window – if he can offload just as many.

One star, though, he will hope to keep but might not be able to is Toby Alderweireld.

The Belgium centre-back, 30, has persistently been linked with United, before and after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho as Old Trafford boss.
