Tottenham Hotspur transfer news: Five possible replacements for Kieran Trippier
Tottenham Hotspur right-back Kieran Trippier may have been involved in one of the most iconic moments of 2018 but hes been frustrating fans ever since.The 28-year-old finds Harry Kane in the penalty area regularly but defensively hes put in some calamitous performances this season too.Kieran Trippier argues with Mike Dean during Tottenham’s defeat to Manchester United.7

Many of team-mate Moussa Sissokos fine displays of late have come as shores up midfield ahead of Trippier, shielding him from attacks.It appears Mauricio Pochettino doesnt trust Serge Aurier as much as he should, especially given the 23million spent on him, while the lack of time given to starlet Kyle Walker-Peters has left other fans baffled.In the Champions League final there were gaps on the right for Trippier to exploit but he just couldn’t do it and after the match the player was unable to tell the press too much about his future.Trippier did well up against Mane in Madrid despite a tough seasonGetty Images7

In recent months the player has been heavily linked with Napoli and manager Carlo Ancelotti even commented on the player himself.Meanwhile, it’s also being said Trippier could be signed by Juventus should Maurizio Sarri become their new boss.So, if not those two, then who could replace Trippier? talkSPORT.com assesses the options.

Ricardo Pereira (Leicester City)

Many Spurs fans wanted to see the Portugal ace in north London instead of Aurier but the club failed to land him as his previous club Porto played hardball over a deal.A year later hes signed for the Foxes and proving he would have been a fine acquisition for Pochettino.He would now cost a lot more than the 22million they could have signed him for.Pereira also has the ability to play as a right winger, as he has done this season, or as wing-back like he did with Nice.Spurs may regret failing to sign Pereira.7

Youcef Atal (Nice)

In his debut season with the club, Atal is proving incredibly impressive as a right wing-back.He loves to dribble, which is certainly different to Trippier, who rarely beats a man, but his 8.1 per 90 means he can lose the ball high up the pitch, while hes also not afraid of shooting.Atal would be a risk given he’s only had one season in Europe so far and may prove a little too raw right now but Spurs should keep tabs on the talent.Algerian international Atal is excelling in his debut season for Nice.7

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace)

The 21-year-old excelled this campaign having broken into the first-team last term.If the Eagles dont improve their standing in the English top flight soon he could be cherry picked by an elite side and Tottenham would be foolish to miss out.Hes defensively astute and gets forward well, whilst being astute with possession.Unfortunately he comes from a family of Arsenal fans and idolised Thierry Henry, while he’s also said himself he’s set to remain at Selhurst Park for at least one more year.Wan-Bissaka has been a standout performer for the Eagles this term.7

Nikola Milenkovic (Fiorentina)

Able to play at both centre-back and right-back, the Serbian offers versatility for what seems like it would be a hefty fee.Manchester United and Man City have been linked with moves for the player, who has spent much of the campaign as an imposing full-back.He would solidify the Spurs defence but would probably result in a big decrease in attacking output.Still just 21, Milenkovic has the potential to be coached up but whether he can add to his offensive game must be questioned.Fiorentina’s poor end to the season could hasten an exit.Will Fiorentina be willing to allow the Serb to leave?7

Bouna Sarr (Marseille)

The 26-year-old was previously a right winger but is now settled as a right-back in Ligue 1.Sarr has the defensive acumen required to, at the very least, come into Tottenham as a deputy, while his attacking abilities mark him out as a player who could do well in the Premier League.Leicester City have been linked with the player, along with Napoli, so there would be the potential for Spurs to strike and sign him.Sarr attempts to deny Neymar in Ligue 1.7
