Sky Italia reports Napoli are following Tottenham Hotspur’s Kieran Trippier.

Another outlet, Sport Mediaset, also claims the Serie A outfit have already done a survey for the 28-year-old and the north London club have decided to postpone discussions about the defender until the end of the season.

It’s stated Manchester United could be an ‘important obstacle’ for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in securing the services of the main transfer objective in the summer.

The report explains the England international has been followed with ‘great interest’ from the Red Devils for a long time as they look to strengthen the right-back position.

At Old Trafford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian, along with Ashely Young and Diogo Dalot as the players who can operate on the right side of defence.

Valencia will leave the club as a free agent and the Italian could return to his country in the summer, leaving Manchester United with struggling Young, and Dalot, who has been deployed on the wings in recent fixtures.

Tottenham, on the other hand, has delayed any decision on Trippier until the end of the season as they hope the player’s asking price would further rise.
