Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier has been tipped to leave the club for the past few months.
The 33-year-old player has reportedly agreed to a deal to join Eyupspor in Turkey. According to Resat Can Ozbudak from SportsDigitale, the defender has reached an agreement with the Turkish outfit, and it remains to be seen if the two clubs can finalize the deal now.
The defender has a contract with Newcastle until 2026, and could be available for a bargain price. He has hit the ground running at Newcastle and is no longer the most important thing in the team. Tino Livramento is now the first choice back at Newcastle.
The Magpies will want to plan for the future and this could be a good opportunity for them to release this England player. The 33-year-old could be a key player for the Turkish team, and he has the quality to make a big difference in Turkish football.
His departure will allow Newcastle to raise some cash and they will be able to get his £120,000-a-week wages on their books.
Kieran Trippier would be a useful addition
Trippier has proven himself in the Premier League and La Liga. There is no doubt that he has a level of development in Turkish football. Signing him on the cheap would be an attractive prospect for any club and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Newcastle will be looking to push for trophies this season and will also look to return to the UEFA Champions League. They have managed to hold on to their key players despite numerous transfer links throughout the summer and the fans will appreciate that.
It remains to be seen whether Eddie Howe can get the best out of his team and get them firing this season.
