England star ‘wants to leave’ Newcastle with Everton ‘among the clubs keen’ on transfer

Kieran Trippier is looking to leave Newcastle United before the end of the transfer window with Everton ready to sign him, according to reports.

The Geordies have made five signings so far this summer with Lewis Hall, Odysseas Vlachodimos, Will Osula, Lloyd Kelly and John Ruddy all completing moves to St James’ Park, while Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh are the two players who have left the club for fees over the summer.

And there was little hint that Trippier could be leaving last week when boss Eddie Howe insisted it would be fascinating to see how the England international competes with Tino Livramento for the right-back spot.

Romano reveals bizarre way Sancho could return to Man Utd from Chelsea next summer

Man Utd could see Jadon Sancho return to Old Trafford next summer because of a strange clause in his transfer to Chelsea, according to Fabrizio Romano.

It is understood Sancho reflected on past issues, and both men agreed to draw a line under the situation and move on.

However, after being left out of the Man Utd squads for the first two Premier League matches of the season against Fulham and B…

First it was , but Robert Pires latest opinion on the 23-year-old may come as an even bigger shock.

Speaking to Wettbasis.com, Pires said: Bukayo Saka still lacks a certain level of consistency and experience, especially in the big games. Perhaps this season, especially in the Champions League, he will show a more convincing face than last season when it counts.

Pires initial words do have some substance, with crashing out of the Champions League at the Quarter Final stage to Baye…
