Kieran Trippier has asked to leave Newcastle after losing his right-back spot to Tino Livramento, with Everton interested in signing him
Kieran Trippier has asked to leave Newcastle and, although Eddie Howe wants the England right-back to stay at St James’ Park, there is a sense that the 33-year-old will depart, quite possibly on loan, before the end of the month.
After joining Newcastle for £12m from Atlético Madrid in January 2022, Trippier has been a cornerstone of Howe’s squad, both on and off the pitch.As Newcastle qualified for last season’s Champions League, Trippier not only stabilised Howe’s rearguard but frequently proved its most potent creative attacking outlet, with dead balls a particular speciality.
This summer, though, a player who turns 34 next month has not only lost the team captaincy to Bruno Guimaraes but has given up the St James’ Park box from which family and friends routinely watched him play. As Newcastle beat Southampton 1-0 at home last Saturday, Trippier, now officially vice-captain, was an unused substitute with Tino Livramento occupying his preferred right-back role. Livramento is believed to be regarded as Howe’s first choice in that position, while the manager is now well covered at left-back.
Given that Trippier has put his house up for sale and came very close to joining Bayern Munich last January, news of his unrest comes as no surprise. It would seem a natural fit were he to be reunited with Dyche who, like Howe, previously managed him at Burnley, but there is also interest from Atalanta and Galatasaray. Indeed a fresh challenge in Italy or Turkey may appeal to a player tempted by that potential Bundesliga switch.
