Tottenham transfer news: Napoli in pole position to sign Kieran Trippier this summer

Trippier has three years left on the contract he signed in the summer of 2017, but at 28 years old he is keen on the prospect of a move abroad and the deal on offer from Napoli

Napoli are in pole position to sign Kieran Trippier from Tottenham Hotspur this summer. The England right-back will be allowed to leave White Hart Lane for the right offer, and the Italian side are confident of reaching a deal for a fee of roughly £25m.

Trippier has three years left on the contract he signed in the summer of 2017, but at 28 years old he is keen on the prospect of a move abroad and the deal on offer from Napoli. He has been Spurs' first-choice right-back for the last two years, after Kyle Walker was sold to Manchester City, and he has successfully held off the challenge to his place after Serge Aurier arrived from PSG.

Trippier has attracted interest since his impressive performances for England at last year's World Cup, and was keen on a move to Manchester United last summer, when Ed Woodward wanted to take him to Old Trafford. But he is now set to lend his four-year association with Spurs this summer, as the start of a busy summer of transfers for Tottenham.

Mauricio Pochettino will also need to decide on the futures of other first-teamers, including Danny Rose and Erik Lamela.
