Arsenal to rival Man Utd for Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier

Arsenal are ready to rival Manchester United for Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier.

Trippier has enjoyed a sublime debut season in LaLiga after winning the league title with Atletico Madrid and being named in the Team of the Season after a campaign of consistent performances.

In recent weeks Trippier has been increasingly linked with Manchester United, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bids to acquire competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

But Marca says Arsenal have entered the equation and are willing to add Hector Bellerin into any possible deal to get an agreement over the line.

It is noted that Bellerin, 26, is open to a move back to Spain, with his Arsenal career stalling in recent years due to persistent injury problems.

Atletico sporting director, Andrea Berta, is said to be a big admirer of former Barcelona man Bellerin and believes he can recapture his best form back in his home nation.
