Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier insists this current crop of Magpies can deliver in the Champions League next season and isn't afraid to make his feelings clear on qualifying for Europe's premier competition.
Eddie Howe's men are just a few games away from securing a top four spot as they try to fend off Manchester United, Liverpool and Brighton at the business end of the campaign. Newcastle have overachieved this term and sections of the fan base believe a number of summer signings would be needed should Champions League qualification be secured before the end of the month.
However, Trippier doesn't subscribe to that notion and has full belief that this group could perform at the top table. "I think we could [deliver in the Champions League]. I'm a big believer in as a group if we're on the same page and we're pulling in the same direction that will take you so far. It's so powerful," Trippier told the High Performance Podcast.
