Everton are still in the market for incomings, which has likely been expedited by their shocking 3-0 home loss to Brighton to kickstart their Premier League campaign – but whilst the Toffees have been linked with a move for Newcastle United star Kieran Trippier, they aren’t close to a deal yet according to Fabrizio Romano.
Trippier has been one of Newcastle’s shining lights in the new Saudi Public Investment Fund era, taking the club from perennial relegation contenders to Champions League football within the space of 18 months. Whilst last season saw a drop off in form, the Magpies are a force to be reckoned with having failed to qualify for European football – but Trippier may not be play a part in their future success, having been linked with a loan move way with first-team football imperative for his career.
