Important Newcastle United first-team player set to be offered new contract

Newcastle United are reportedly set to offer Kieran Trippier a new contract.

Despite approaching his 34th birthday, Trippier, who, when not injured, captains the Magpies, remains a key player for Eddie Howe.

Joining from Atletico Madrid in 2022, the England international, who signed a three-year deal, now has just one year left on his contract.

Consequently, and eager to avoid losing their talisman, the Geordies, according to a recent report from Football Insider, are preparing to offer the experienced right-back new, and presumably, improved, terms.

About to send a clear message to their important number two, Newcastle United’s reliance on Trippier cannot be underestimated.

Seemingly glad the 33-year-old didn’t end up moving to Bayern Munich in the January window, Howe is looking to capitalise on the defender’s happiness in England’s northeast.

Since arriving at St. James’ Park, Trippier, who is hoping to make Gareth Southgate’s England squad for this summer’s Euros, has directly contributed to 25 goals in 89 games in all competitions.
