Eddie Howe hopes to keep Kieran Trippier at Newcastle but cannot guarantee that the England right-back will still be at St James’ Park at the end of next week.
“My wish is Kieran stays here and continues to play for us,” said Howe as he prepared for Sunday’s latest return to his former club Bournemouth. “But I can never answer with absolute certainty because it’s football and the window is always unpredictable. We take every case individually and try to make the right decision for the player and the club.”
