But after impressing in LaLiga, teams back home have their eye on him for next season.

The England defender has checked out potential new homes in his native north-west ahead of an eventual return.

Old club Burnley would love to have him back.

But his price tag looks certain to be a stumbling block in a potential return.

An inquiry into betting allegations against Trippier will also have to be settled before a move can progress anywhere.

The right-back revealed he decided to leave Spurs last summer in a bid to play more often – and keep his place in the England squad where competition is intense.

He told the Burnley Express: “I needed to be playing as high as I can for as long as I could.

“There’s me, Kyle Walker, Trent, Wan Bissaka, Reece James, Max Aarons is coming through and Kyle Walker-Pieters, who is a quality player.

“There is a lot of competition, but I’ve got to focus on myself and focus on my own game and hope my performances stand out.”
