Just reported in the press this morning.

If it is true you could hardly blame him as it's close to his home town and could be his last good deal.

He's been one of the best deals this club has made and we will always be grateful to him.


Newcastle United full-back Kieran Trippier wants to leave St James' Park, according to the latest reports. David Ornstein of The Athletic, claims the England international wants to explore other avenues that will ensure him of first-team football this season.

The 33-year-old defender has been a mainstay in Eddie Howe's starting XI since joining the club from Atletico Madrid back in January 2022 but was an unused substitute during the Toon's 1-0 win over Southampton on the opening game of the season with Tino Livremento given the nod.

The report claims that Everton are keen on a move for Trippier before the transfer window slams shut in just over a week's time. The Toffees are said to be plotting a loan move and a reunion with Sean Dyche, who worked with the Magpies full-back during their time at Burnley.


Both Everton and Newcastle have reportedly held initial talks over a potential move, with Trippier having a year remaining on his current deal after signing fresh terms.

The right-back has also been the subject of interest in Saudi Arabia and Bayern Munich in recent months, but a move it yet to come to fruition. The latest development comes after Bruno Guimaraes was appointed Newcastle captain this season, with Trippier vacating the armband.
