Eddie Howe says that he wants to sign more players with the same profile as captain Kieran Trippier.
The England full-back has been outstanding in his first full campaign at St James' Park and has helped guide the Magpies into the Champions League. Trippier is now resting up for a week or two before he gets back to work with England for the Euro qualifying campaign with two matches next month.
After signing from Atletico Madrid, Trippier made a flying start to his Toon career with wonder goals against Everton and Aston Villa before getting hit by an ankle injury. This season has been a different story with Trippier playing all 38 Premier League matches.
