THE BIGGER PICTURE
Newcastle do not want to sell Trippier, as manager Eddie Howe continues to view him as an important leader in the dressing room. However, he only has one year left on his contract and this is the final window in which the Magpies can receive a fee for him, provided he does not agree to extend his spell at St James' Park.

Trippier is now 34 but he remained a key cog in Howe's machine last season, making 32 appearances in all competitions, although only 14 of those came as starts in the Premier League.
