Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier has hit out at former club Tottenham.

The 29-year-old says he asked club chairman Daniel Levy and manager Mauricio Pochettino for reassurances about his future at White Hart Lane. With neither confirming his position within the team, Trippier left for Atletico last summer.

Trippier told The Beautiful Game Podcast, "Yeah, I did knock on his door, and I said I have an opportunity to go to Atletico Madrid.

"If I am part of your plans, then I will stay. He didn't give me a yes, and he didn't give me a no in his office.

"So as a player you think oh right ok, no problem.

"Then I went to the chairman and told him the exact same.

"I had a conversation with the manager, and I said am I part of your plans? If I am, no problem but I have a great opportunity here to go to Atletico Madrid.

"But going back to what I said before, in March/April I hear off people I trust that they've tried to offload me. Offering me to clubs."
