On August 23, Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe, during the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Bournemouth, stated that Kieran Trippier remains as usual and is still an important part of the team.
Talking about the upcoming opponents Bournemouth, Eddie Howe said, “Last season we had two very tough matches against them. They are a team with strong athletic ability, and if you don’t attack, they can hurt you in transitions. We won’t be fooled by the difficulty of this match; we need to perform better away from home than we did last season.”
When asked about the rumors of Kieran Trippier’s departure, Eddie Howe emphasized, “Everything is normal, defender Kieran Trippier remains an integral part of his plans.”
Previously, according to reports from the British media, West Ham United, having failed to sign Wan-Bissaka, have turned their attention to the England international Kieran Trippier, who plays for Newcastle United.
