Newcastle United make decision on transfer of first-team player

Newcastle United right-back Kieran Trippier wants to leave the club in the summer transfer window.

The defender has lost his starting place to Tino Livramento and has decided to leave the club this summer for a new challenge away from St James’ Park.

However, according to Football Insider, Newcastle have decided to keep the player at the club.

Eddie Howe has no intention of letting Trippier leave the club, having been a crucial player for the Magpies in recent seasons.

The Premier League transfer window is closed, but clubs from Saudi Arabia and Turkey can still sign players, meaning the door is still open for the recently retired England international to leave the club.

The Magpies will not let the defender leave and will block any possible attempt to leave Tyneside.

Despite losing his starting place to Livramento, Newcastle manager Howe sees him as a key player in the squad and an experienced option as a reserve.

Since joining the club from Atletico Madrid, Trippier has been a consistent performer for the Toon Army.

He played a key role in the club’s qualification for the Champions League two seasons ago.

His defensive ability and his attacking qualities are of great importance to the Premier League club.

Kieran Trippier wanted to leave Newcastle United this summer

The player had decided to leave the club this summer and had already conveyed his message to the management. However, as they were unable to secure their transfer targets in the transfer window, it was decided to keep Trippier, 33, at the club.

There were suggestions that Sean Dyche’s Everton would sign the former Burnley right-back, but a move failed to materialise and Trippier ultimately stayed at Newcastle.

Howe would need Trippier’s experience and quality and given the injuries they suffered last season, a deep squad is a necessity.
