Newcastle United FC manager Eddie Howe is reportedly at odds with his board regarding the potential transfer of Kieran Trippier.
This experienced full-back remains a valuable squad member for the Magpies, despite not being a regular starter under Howe.
According to reports from the Sun, Trippier is drawing interest from several international clubs, including teams from La Liga, Turkey, and the Saudi Pro League, who are keen to sign him away from St James’ Park.
Newcastle poised to swoop for elite attacker!
Newcastle appears ready to cash in on Trippier this January, with many offers expected, yet it seems Howe is advocating for the club board to retain the former England international.
Kieran Trippier is crucial for Newcastle’s objectives
Although NUFC has Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall available as full-backs, Trippier provides essential depth and experience.
It would be unwise for Newcastle to let go of such an experienced player mid-season, especially when his contributions will be needed as the season progresses.
Howe is undoubtedly aware that the fixtures will come thick and fast, necessitating strategic rotation of the squad to maintain performance levels.
In addition to pursuing European qualification in the Premier League, Newcastle also has a Carabao Cup semi-final on the horizon.
Trippier may be tempted to accept lucrative offers if they arise, especially as he might not want to settle for a backup role at this stage of his career.
The next few weeks will be crucial to see how this transfer saga unfolds and whether Newcastle and Howe can reach a consensus regarding Trippier’s future.
