Kieran Trippier pushing for exit against Howe’s wishes as four clubs eye late deal - Report

It looks like Kieran Trippier's time on Tyneside could be coming to an end, with reports today suggesting he plans to leave the club with up to four clubs showing an interest.

According to Craig Hope at The Mail, Atalanta, Galatasaray, West Ham, and now Everton have all shown some interest in taking Tripper away from Newcastle.

Eddie Howe has reportedly told the 33-year-old that he 'needs him' to stay, but the right-back has made it clear he now wants a 'new challenge' after losing his starting spot to Tino Livramento and seeing Bruno Guimaraes become the club's team captain, which is said to have 'upset' him.

Hope also reports that Amanda Staveley and Dan Ashworth's departures have helped make Trippier's mind up, with his piece revealing that both were 'key allies' of his following a move from Atletico Madrid in January 2022.

One of the key signings since the Saudi takeover, Trippier has been one of Howe's most important players, but it looks like the time is up for the England international. Mixed reports suggest he has either one year or two left on his current deal and it isn't clear if he'll leave on loan or a permanent deal as he seeks a move before next Friday's deadline.

Trippier has been a key player since he joined Newcastle United, but it seems like the time has now come for him to start what might be his last chapter.
