Tottenham star reveals ideal destination amid £30m Man Utd links

Tottenham’s Kieran Trippier has admitted that he would prefer to remain in England if he does leave the club this summer.

Trippier has been heavily linked with a move away from North London this summer with Italian giants Juventus and Napoli circling, while Manchester United have been linked with a £30m move.

The 28 year old started his career at Manchester City before moving to Burnley in 2012 after failing to make a single appearance in Manchester. Trippier enjoyed a successful spell at the Lancashire club which saw Tottenham look to sign him.

He signed for Spurs for £3.5m in 2015, initially playing a back up role to Kyle Walker before making the position his own when Walker left for City.

A good 2017/18 season saw Trippier called up to the England squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Trippier had a brilliant tournament, scoring a superb free kick in England’s semi final defeat to Croatia.

Now, after a self professed poor season which ended in Champions League final defeat, Trippier has been linked with a move away.

Quizzed on his future in the wake of the Champions League final defeat to Liverpool, the Bury born defender told reporters: “I don’t know.

“I go home now, spend time with my family, just recover after a long, difficult season. Everybody’s got a decision to make, no matter what.

“Obviously this club has been very good for me over the last few years but I’ll enjoy my summer, come back in pre-season and that’s when I’ll sit down with the manager and have a talk about my future.

“I see a lot of speculation about me not being here. I give everything, 100 per cent every game, win lose or draw. So we’ll see what happens in pre-season.”

Trippier, who has been left out of England’s squad for the Nations League finals, added on the rumours of a switch to continental Europe: “I want to stay in England. But what can you do?

“I’ll see what happens and what the club wants, most importantly.

“I give everything for this club – training sessions, games – so we’ll see what happens in pre-season.”
