Tottenham Hotspur defender Kieran Trippier is very much a target for Juventus this summer.

According to The Times, the English full-back is seen as a potential replacement for Joao Cancelo.

The Old Lady believe last summer’s World Cup star is an upgrade on the Portugal international, who is apparently a target for Premier League champions Manchester City.

Cancelo only joined the club last summer, but Juve are ready to make a quick profit on him amid interest from mega-rich City.

It would apparently take around £30 million for the Italian champions to sign Trippier, who endured a poor season following the highs of the World Cup.

The former Burnley man struggled to achieve consistency throughout 2018/19 and was affected by injury.

Reports have been frequent about Trippier potentially leaving this summer, with Napoli and Atletico Madrid having both been linked in recent weeks.
