However, Sky Sports says Eyüpspor now face major competition for the former England fullback's signature.

Fenerbahce and Besiktas are now also looking at the 33-year-old.

The three clubs all want to loan Trippier with an option to buy. Al-Ittihad have also tried to sign Trippier, but the Saudi transfer window closed yesterday.
