- Tottenham are leading the chase but face competition from Liverpool
- Trippier looking to leave Turf Moor after Premier League relegation

Tottenham lead the chase for Burnley’s £3.5m-rated right back Kieran Trippier.Trippier, 24, is set to leave Turf Moor in the wake of Burnley’s relegation from the Barclays Premier League.
The former Manchester City defender has a £3.5m release clause in his contract and has already attracted interest from Liverpool.However Sportsmail understands that Tottenham have now jumped to the front of the queue to sign the highly-rated Lancastrian.Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino wants a new full back for next season and has been attracted by Trippier’s dependability and the way that he is able to get forward.
Liverpool retain a firm interest but the Anfield club – still strong favourites to sign Burnley centre forward Danny Ings – have put transfer business on hold until talks over the future of Brendan Rodgers have taken place.
City themselves will benefit from any deal. They sold Tripper – a product of their youth academy – for £450,000 in 2012 but had a clause inserted in the deal that stipulated they receive 40 per cent on any future profit on that deal.
This means that
City would receive more than a £1m when Trippier’s release clause is activated. Trippier earns in the region of £20,000-a-week at Burnley and would expect to be offered a significant increase on that at Tottenham.
