Kieran Trippier makes up his mind on leaving Newcastle after late twist

Kieran Trippier has decided to see out the season at Newcastle United despite late attempts from Galatasaray to convince him of the move.

That is according to former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that the 34-year-old believes he still has a role to play at St James’ Park.

Kieran Trippier has decided to see out the season at Newcastle United despite late attempts from Galatasaray to convince him of the move.

That is according to former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that the 34-year-old believes he still has a role to play at St James’ Park.

This came as part of their ambitious transfer plans, following the signings of the likes of Victor Osimhen, Hakim Ziyech, Mario Lemina, Alvaro Morata and Grabriel Sara.

However, the right-back has decided in favour of remaining in England, where he aims to help Newcastle to win the Carabao Cup and continue their Premier League progress.

Brown told Football Insider in December that Newcastle were prepared to accept offers for Trippier in the mid-season window in an attempt to cut their wage bill.

Now, the former scout who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted that a deal is unlikely to take place before the Turkish window closes.

“From what I hear, he wants to see the season out with Newcastle,” he told Football Insider.

“If he wanted to leave, he’d be entitled to go to Newcastle and say look, if an offer comes then I’d like to go.
