2018 World Cup, scoring the opening goal in the semi-final defeat to Croatia, Trippier’s form dipped during the course of the 2018/19 campaign. But the former Manchester City trainee still

made 38 appearances across all competitions as Spurs finished fourth and made it all the way to the Champions League final at Atletico’s Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. He will now call the

Spanish capital home, with Atleti signing the right-back they were seeking having released the experienced Juanfran after his contract expired this summer. Some reports suggested Spurs could

sign striker Angel Correa from Atletico as part of the deal but Trippier departed in a cash-only transfer. He moved to Tottenham from Burnley in 2015 after an impressive spell in the side

at Turf Moor. Having initially played second-fiddle to Kyle Walker, Trippier emerged as Mauricio Pochettino’s main right-back after Walker’s departure to Manchester City. Trippier signed a

new five-year deal at Spurs in 2017 but has now moved on, the club issuing a three-line statement confirming his departure and wishing him luck in the future. Left-back Rose also appears set

to land a move away from N17. The club confirmed on Wednesday morning that the 29-year-old was not part of the squad travelling for their pre-season tour and announced he was one of three

players left behind to work on a potential exit. “Ben Davies, Eric Dier and Cameron Carter-Vickers will continue their rehabilitation at Hotspur Way,” a statement on the official Tottenham

website read. “Vincent Janssen, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Danny Rose have been granted additional time off in order to explore prospective opportunities with other clubs. “Serge Aurier,

Davinson Sanchez and Victor Wanyama will return to Enfield to start pre-season training next week following commitments with their national teams at summer tournaments.”
