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, this month.
After joining Newcastle for £12m from Atlético Madrid in January 2022, Trippier has been a cornerstone of Howe’s squad, on and off the pitch. Everton have been mentioned as a possible destination.
