Trippier hits out at Levy, Pochettino

Kieran Trippier left Tottenham this summer after four years at the club Kieran Trippier has hit out at Mauricio Pochettino and Daniel Levy over the manner of his exit from Tottenham, saying they failed to disclose their plans to sell him. The 28-year-old right-back joined Atletico Madrid from Spurs for £21.7m in July, and said on Monday he felt he had taken a "step up" . However, Trippier admits he did not want to leave north London, but had no choice when his manager and chairman did not respond to his requests for clarity. He said: "I spoke to the manager about his plans and I didn't get a 'yes' and I didn't get a 'no' - so you get the impression. "The manager didn't say he wanted to move me on and I tried to speak to the chairman about it. "It's not nice when you know the club want to sell you. I heard rumours about them selling me and it's not nice but it happens and it's football. Trippier has started all three of Atletico Madrid's La Liga games this season "It's disappointing. I gave everything for the club and I wanted to stay. I had another couple of years left but everything happens for a reason. "Me and the manager didn't leave on bad terms; he has done a lot for me and I respect him highly. "It is just a few things - I tried to speak to the chairman, I just didn't really get an answer." Trippier enjoyed an outstanding World Cup for England in 2018 but suffered a slump in form last season - his final campaign at Spurs. He was dropped by Gareth Southgate for the Nations League this summer, but has now returned for this month's European Qualifiers following his move to Spain. Trippier acknowledged his standards slipped but believes Spurs may regret selling him, saying: "Everyone has an opinion - you have, the pundits have. "It doesn't bother me but obviously the fans... I set the bar high at the World Cup and they knew how well I could do. "Tottenham got rid of me at the wrong time, but I struggled with injuries. I could have come back fit and fresh but they made the decision and now I'm at Atletico Source:https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11801136/kieran-trippier-hits-out-at-daniel-levy-and-mauricio-pochettino-over-tottenham-exit

Navas joins PSG, Areola Lone To Real

Keylor Navas has signed for Paris Saint-Germain on a permanent deal, while Alphonse Areola has gone the other way on loan.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper has signed for an estimated €15m (£13.6m) fee on a four-year deal, after agreeing personal terms, and is set to become the first Costa Rican to play for the French champions.
Navas spent five years in Madrid, playing more than 100 times for Real and winning 11 trophies including three successive Champions League titles, and boss Zinedine Zidane admitted last month he did not want to lose him.

Navas said: "I'm really excited to sign for Paris Saint-Germain."I'm coming to France with high hopes - it is a very prestigious club and I am keen to be part of the adventure.
"I will do everything I can to help PSG win new titles, bringing all my experience and professionalism, and will also try to win the hearts of the Parisian fans, famous throughout Europe for their passion."
Areola - who played 75 times in goal for PSG - has moved to Madrid in a separate deal on a season-long loan with no obligation to buy, and remains contracted to the Parisian side until 2023.
The France international, 26, returns to La Liga after spending one season on loan at Villarreal in 2015/16 and will challenge Thibaut Courtois for the goalkeeping jersey at Real.
PSG let Gianluigi Buffon, who played 25 times last season in all competitions, rejoin Juventus this summer but have signed 19-year-old Marcin Bulka from Chelsea and Sergio Rico from Sevilla on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
Bulka, who kept a clean sheet on his debut in PSG's 2-0 victory over Metz on Friday, and former Fulham loanee Rico will now provide back-up to Navas
