Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier is reportedly seeking a move away from the club this month in pursuit of regular playing time. After being left as an unused substitute in Newcastle’s recent 1-0 win against Southampton, Trippier is determined to find a club where he can secure a starting role.
The 33-year-old England international faces stiff competition for the right-back position at Newcastle, with former Southampton player Tino Livramento currently preferred by the club. Earlier this year, Newcastle turned down offers for Trippier from Bayern Munich and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
According to a report by the BBC, Trippier is now eyeing a potential transfer to Everton, where he could reunite with his former manager, Sean Dyche, who previously coached him at Burnley. Although Dyche has acknowledged the speculation, he has not yet made a definitive statement regarding the possible move.
With Everton’s full-back Ashley Young set to miss their upcoming match against Tottenham due to suspension, Trippier’s potential arrival could provide a crucial boost to the Merseyside club.
Despite his desire to leave, Trippier still has two years remaining on his contract with Newcastle United. The 54-cap England international was a key figure for England in the early stages of Euro 2024 but missed out on the final starting lineup. His push for a transfer is motivated by the need for regular playing time to maintain his place in the national team.
