Newcastle United, the northeast side of the Premier League, was fully acquired by saudi funds earlier, and overnight it exploded into the richest team in the Premier League, even far surpassing Manchester City, the richest team in last season's Premier League championship owned by the Abu Dhabi consortium. Suddenly becoming an "upstart", naturally many people are curious about how the team will use the "silver bullet tactic" like unlimited money to recruit, but because Newcastle United has been absent from the European competition for many years, this season has been in the relegation vortex for a longer time, since the mid-season replacement of former Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe took over the coaching seal, the performance has not seen much improvement, there is a great chance of relegation, the situation can be described as hot. In this case, although it is difficult to attract today's top stars such as Mbappe and Haaland, who are rumored to be eager to sign, the team has not seen much movement in the transfer market; but the team finally made the first transfer acquisition in the winter, signing England international Kieran Trippier from last season's La Liga champion Atletico Madrid for 12 million pounds and signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.
Kieran Trippier, who plays as a defender, has been in Manchester City's academy since he was a child and was bought out by Burnley in 2012 for his outstanding performances on loan for Burnley. He then led Burnley to the Premier League with his strong assist ability, and since his premier league appearance, Kieran Trippier has remained stable, although he did not prevent the team from being relegated after the first season of promotion, but with his outstanding performance, he was signed by Tottenham Hotspur for £3.5 million in the summer of 2015, so he was able to stay in the Premier League. With Kyle Walker leaving for Manchester City in the summer of 2017, Kieran Trippier managed to secure the team's starting right-back position and helped the team finish runner-up in the Champions League in 2019. However, the problem of weak offensive and defensive strength and lack of single defense has not improved, coupled with the fact that Ivorian defender Orière has gradually improved in the second half of the season, so that then-manager Pochettino decided to sell him in the summer.
In the summer of 2019, Kieran Trippier was signed by La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid for £20 million. Under the guidance of the defender Simone, the England international has made great progress in defense, and Kieran Trippier has helped Atletico madrid to defeat the city's sworn enemy Real Madrid and another powerhouse Barcelona in the past season, successfully winning the La Liga title again after 2014; this season Kieran Trippier's state has declined significantly with the team's record, but he is still an important member of the Atletico defense, deeply respected by Simeone, but this England international is determined to return to the Premier League. As a result, he joined Premier League side Newcastle United for £12 million.
Kieran Trippier, who helped the Three Lions to become the 2018 World Cup champion and runner-up of this European Championship, has excellent crosses and ability to handle set-pieces, and was once called "New Beckham" by the British media. Switching to Newcastle United, and reuniting with Eddie Howe, who was appreciated by him at the time and brought him to Burnley, kieran Trippier' joining is definitely of great help to Newcastle United, who is currently in a dire situation, the team's 3-line standards are seriously insufficient, and the right-back position is one of the disaster areas, and Spanish right-back Javier Manquillo, who has started from time to time this season, although he has a good assist, but at the same time, he has failed to return in time to prevent it from time to time, resulting in a loss of position, becoming a big gap in the team's defense So while Kieran Trippier alone could not fully improve all the defensive problems, his more comprehensive approach to play strongly enhanced the efficiency of the team's defensive line on the right.
