Atletico Madrid identify replacement for Newcastle target Trippier

Atletico Madrid are chasing Lille's Zeki Celik to replace England-bound right back Kieran Trippier.

The veteran has shown his worth at Atleti since signing from Tottenham, becoming a mainstay in Diego Simeone's team.

However, Mundo Deportivo suggests that with serious interest in Trippier from Newcastle United, he may be moving in the winter.

The Magpies are ready to pay the £20 million Atleti want for Trippier.

The La Liga champions will target Celik from Lille as Trippier's replacement.
