​England international Trippier only has eyes for Burnley

Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier would only return to the Premier League to play at Burnley for Sean Dyche.

The 29-year-old told the Burnley Express: "We have a great relationship. We're in contact all the time about family, football - he still mothers me about taking me back one day. It'll happen one day for sure, I'll 100 per cent be back playing for them.

"I would love to retire there. That's my aim, to retire at Burnley. I want to play as high as I can for as long as I can but I'll know when the time is right.

"If I'm at Atleti for another two years, that'll take me to 32, and Burnley's the only club that I'd come back to England for.

"After that I'd start my coaching badges and I'd love to coach at Burnley. I'd just love to go wherever Sean Dyche goes."
