It seems that Kieran Trippier, a 33-year-old right-back for Newcastle United, has set his sights on leaving the club before the transfer window closes. And it seems that Everton is keen on bringing him on board.
Trippier was an important member of the first team during the latter half of the previous season, but it appears that his role has shifted this season. He was left on the bench during Newcastle's Premier League opener against Southampton, with Tino Livramento taking his usual spot on the field. As the club's vice-captain, Trippier would have worn the armband for the match, but the honor was given to Bruno Guimaraes instead due to Jamaal Lascelles' injury.
According to The Athletic, Trippier is not interested in being a peripheral player at St James' Park and is eager to secure a move to a team where he can be a regular starter. Everton has expressed interest in signing him, but they are looking to do a loan deal instead of a permanent transfer. Talks are currently underway, but it seems that other clubs, such as those in the Saudi Pro League, are also interested in acquiring the services of the defender, who has 54 caps for England.
It seems that Sean Dyche, the manager of Everton, would love to have Trippier on his team. However, before the 1-0 win over Southampton on Saturday, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe stated that Trippier is still a part of his plans and will have to compete with Livramento for the right-back position.
"Physically, Tino is in a good place," said Howe. "He had a smooth pre-season with no issues. We have faith in him and appreciate his skills and contributions to the team. But he faces strong competition from Kieran, and it will be interesting to see how these two talented players vie for the spot. They are both top-notch players and exceptional individuals."
