Trippier: Maybe I'll do an interview in Spanish in a month or two Atletico Madrid Simeone, meanwhile, spoke about Joao Felix

Atletico Madrid newcomer Kieran Tripper is keen to learn Spanish so that he can aid his adaptation to life in Spain.

The right-back even hopes to be conducting interviews in Spanish soon.

"My priority is to speak Spanish, I want to be involved with the players and the coach to understand more," he told ESPN.

"I've got a teacher in Madrid and it's five days a week for two hours a day.

"So maybe in a month or two we can have this interview speaking Spanish."

Diego Simeone also spoke to ESPN and hailed Joao Felix's quality.

"The reality is that he has a good game to observe," the coach said.

"I've enjoyed watching him since he arrived.

"He has vision and good control going forward, which speaks well for his age and how he plays and how he reads the game.

"We are going to add situations to help him grow and become a better and stronger player in the way everyone thinks he will."

Simeone also highlighted the versatility of the team's new signing Hector Herrera.

"[Herrera] can play well in either a [4-4-2 or 4-3-3] formation," he added.

"He played either formation at his former team and he seems to fit into our system, always with the possibility to break through going forward.

"His ability and experience to get into the area will serve him well."
