Eddie Howe attempting to convince senior Newcastle star to stay put

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has held talks with Kieran Trippier in a bid to persuade the defender to remain at the club this summer, according to reports.

The England international — who featured six times in the Three Lions’ run to the Euro 2024 final this summer — joined the Magpies from Atletico Madrid in January 2022.

Since then, he’s established himself as a key player, notching four goals and 21 assists in 92 appearances across all competitions, while often donning the captain’s armband.
