Carabao Cup-winning defender signed in 2022 for £12m
Howe’s underperforming squad set for summer overhaul
Kieran Trippier is to leave Newcastle when his contract ends this summer, heightening the sense of an era ending at the Saudi-owned club.
Trippier’s arrival, for £12m, from Atletico Madrid in January 2022 proved a landmark moment in the team’s transformation following Newcastle’s Saudi Arabian-led takeover in October 2021. He has made more than 150 appearances for Newcastle, scoring four goals, and was a part of the Carabao Cup-winning team that beat Liverpool at Wembley last May.
Eddie Howe’s squad is set for a summer overhaul at a time when there is doubt that the manager will reach his five-year anniversary at St James’ Park this November.
