Arsenal are striving to beat Man United to Kieran Trippier’s signature by outbidding them in the market. The 30-year-old defender is keen to make a comeback to England after spending two-year at Wanda Metropolitano.

The Red Devils have a longstanding interest in England international and have been in negotiations with Los Colchoneros throughout this transfer window to bring the defender to the Theatre of Dreams. However, Man United are unwilling to meet the Spanish club’s valuation of £34m for Trippier.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to add Kieran to his right-back department to provide healthy competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The Red Devils are on the course to having one of the best transfer windows for a while now, having already secured two top footballers in Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho.

And a seasoned veteran like the 30-year-old defender will be another statement signing. On the other hand, the Gunners are considering the English right-back as a possible replacement for outgoing Hector Bellerin, who is ready to leave the Emirates Stadium after ten years at Arsenal, with Milan and Bayer Leverkusen being touted as possible destinations for the Spanish defender.

As things stand, the current offer is at £20m by Man United, while La Liga giants are expecting at least £34m for the Englishman. Arsenal can now seize the situation by bidding more than the Red Devils, which provides them with an added advantage in their pursuit for the right-back.
