Spurs transfer news: Bayern Munich interested in Kieran Trippier

Sky Sports reports that Kieran Trippier is on the shortlist of right-back targets for Bavarian giants Bayern Munich.

The English defender did not have a great season with Tottenham. He was inconsistent playing for Spurs and made some major errors during the campaign.

The 28-year-old had a great World Cup for England in the previous summer, but could not carry that form for Tottenham.

The report adds that Bayern are searching for a deputy to Joshua Kimmich at right-back. The German is possibly one of the best players in the world, but Bayern see Trippier as too expensive an option to keep on the bench.

Interest in Trippier from other quarters

The report adds that Atletico Madrid and Juventus are also interested in the former Burnley defender.

Tottenham have made Trippier available in the summer window, according to Sky Sports, and a transfer to Napoli was also on after the Champions League final.

Sky Sports claims that Trippier’s family even visited Naples, while Serge Aurier is also available for a transfer this summer.

The Ivorian too struggled for fitness and consistency last season and it could be an interesting summer for our right-backs.

Selling the pair would only leave Kyle Walker-Peters as a senior right-back, and the English defender still needs more first-team minutes to improve his game.
