Tottenham are reportedly planning a mass overhaul at the right-back position, and it could just be one of the smartest bits of business the club has managed in years.
What’s the story?
Well, according to The Sun, Everton are eyeing a move for Trippier with Mauricio Pochettino intent on replacing the Englishman this summer.
The report claims that the Spurs boss is not keen on Serge Aurier either, so there could be a total overhaul on the right side of the Lilywhites’ defence.
Tottenham are “extremely interested” in Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Max Aarons continues the report, so with two players potentially leaving, why not sign both?
Perfect for Pochettino
Daniel Levy has infuriated Spurs fans in recent transfer windows, not offering up a single penny for Pochettino to spend on his squad.
The manager has clearly felt the effects of the club’s poor transfer dealings too, as his trademark flying full backs have not been the same since Kyle Walker left the club and Danny Rose faded into obscurity.
There can be no complaints if Levy pulls off this double move though, assuming that if both Trippier and Aurier leave then two new signings will be required.
Wan-Bissaka in particular would be a stunning capture from the club, as the 21 year-old has started 27 league games this season while averaging an incredible four tackles per game.
Aarons on the other hand would offer more on the attacking end, grabbing three goals and five assists so far this campaign for Norwich, playing a crucial role in their surge for promotion.
By signing both players and shipping out the underwhelming Aurier and Trippier, Pochettino would have two young, hungry full-backs with all the athletic requirements to bomb up and down the wing week in week out, just like he did when Walker and Rose were at their best.
It would also give the boss loads of options with how he wants to set his teams up, due to the different strengths and capabilities that both players boast.
After starving him of any signings for consecutive transfer windows, Levy owes Pochettino what would be a masterful double swoop, and the boss would finally have the strength at right-back that he has been crying out for since Walker left.
