According to Sky Sports, Newcastle is hoping to sign four players in the winter window, and Trippier is expected to become their first new signing. On New Year's Day, Newcastle offered Trippier an official offer, with plans to make the Englishman their first new signing after the new boss took over next week.
In Last Sunday's 2-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, Trippier started and played the whole game, and he looked like he was saying goodbye to Atletico fans.
After 4 years at Tottenham, Trippier joined Atletico in 2019, where he helped the Sheets army win last season's La Liga title and was also named to the La Liga Team of the Season. Trippier played 35 games for England, starting last year's European Championship final against Italy and assisting Luke Shaw to score the opening goal.
Newcastle have conceded 42 goals in the Premier League so far this season, tied for the most with Norwich, and they hope Thatre Spear's addition will boost the team's poor backline.
