MADRID (Reuters) - England right back Kieran Trippier said the lure of working with Diego Simeone, who he described as one of the top coaches around, convinced him to switch from Tottenham Hotspur to Atletico Madrid.

Trippier was unveiled as an Atletico player on Thursday, a day after completing a transfer reported to be worth 20 million pounds, while Spain defender Mario Hermoso was also presented after sealing a move from Espanyol for 25 million euros.
