Trippier 'set for Atletico Madrid medical' as Tottenham exit approaches

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kieran Trippier is set to have his medical with Atletico Madrid today as his exit from the north London club nears.

The right-back, who joined Tottenham from Burnley in 2015 for £3.5m, is expected to move to the La Liga giants for a figure believed to be around £25m in the coming days.

Trippier carried a groin injury for much of last season which saw his form dip for Spurs following the high of his free-kick goal in the World Cup semi-final against Croatia.

Now Spurs have decided to part company with the right-back who was linked with Napoli, Bayern Munich and Juventus towards the end of the season, but it appears to be Atletico who have won the race for his signature.
