BREAKING: Kieran Trippier has decided to leave Newcastle United with Everton interested

Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier reportedly wants to leave the Magpies before the end of this summer transfer window. The England international who was an unused substitute in the season-opener against Southampton has one year remaining on his contract.

The veteran defender won the captain’s armband for most of his time with the Magpies, but Bruno Guimaraes has been elected as the new club captain this season. At the age of 33, Trippier wishes to explore other opportunities where he would be guaranteed first-team football.

He would be open to leaving St.James’ Park if the right opportunity comes along in the final few days of the summer window. Everton are reportedly amongst the suitors for the England veteran.
