Tottenham did let go of Kieran Trippier after one under-performing season, and a departure which was believed to be a layoff initially could turn out to be a ploy of mistake by Mauricio Pochettino as the Argentine face lack of contention in his position with the likes of Davinson Sanchez and Jan Vertongen filling in.
The English international joined Atletico Madrid in the summer and has featured every minute for the men in Reds and Whites this campaign as Diego Simeone side racked up three wins in opening three games of the campaign.
Trippier admitted being blown away by the coaching of boss Diego Simeone since landing in Madrid back in summer.
