Football rumours: Kieran Trippier done with Newcastle as three clubs circle
What the papers say
Kieran Trippier is reportedly “desperate” for a move away from Newcastle, with three top European clubs said to be interested in the defender. According to The Sun, the defender has informed the club he seeks more game time, after starting the season on the bench. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe would reportedly like to hang onto Trippier, however if the situation does not change it is unlikely he will remain at St James Park beyond this year as Fenerbahce, AC Milan and Atalanta monitor developments.
The Sun also reports two Premier League clubs are in the race for Newcastle striker Callum Wilson. Brentford and Fulham are both said to be lining up a January move for the 32-year-old. Brentford supposedly view Wilson as an ideal replacement for Ivan Toney, while Fulham have money to spend.
And the Daily Mirror says talks over a new deal for Everton manager Sean Dyche have been shelved until Dan Friedkin’s £500million takeover of the club is approved.
