Kieran Trippier, Newcastle United’s right-back, is reportedly seeking an exit from the club and has agreed to personal terms with Turkish side Eyupspor. This shocking move comes after the English summer transfer window closed, but Turkey’s transfer window remains open until September 13. Trippier’s desire to leave Newcastle stems from concerns about his playing time, as Tino Livramento has started in both Premier League matches this season.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein reported on August 22 that Trippier wants to leave Newcastle before the transfer window closes. Although Everton showed interest, Trippier remained at St. James’ Park. However, his fears about playing time persist. As captain for most of his Newcastle stint, Trippier seeks regular first-team football. His England career recently ended with 54 caps.
