Everton Targeting Newcastle’s ‘Exceptional’ Leader Ahead of Deadline Day – Ornstein

For quiz night enthusiasts, names like Dan Gosling and Sylvain Distin are often mentioned.

However, as the summer transfer window closes, there may be a new name joining the ranks at both Everton and Newcastle.

Everton’s summer signings have been strategic, with Tim Iroegbunam impressing in his debut.

Additionally, Jesper Lindstrom and Jake O’Brien are expected to make significant contributions soon.

Despite these additions, it’s difficult to argue that Sean Dyche’s starting lineup has improved, especially with the loss of Amadou Onana.

However, the situation could brighten if Kieran Trippier arrives from Newcastle in the coming days. According to journalist David Ornstein from The Athletic, this deal is now a strong possibility.

Trippier is eager to leave Newcastle before the month ends, and Everton is in need of a right-back.

Trippier, who played under Dyche at Burnley, could soon reunite with his former manager at Everton.

His situation at Newcastle seems uncertain after being overlooked for the captain’s armband in favor of Bruno Guimaraes.

Trippier was also benched in favor of Tino Livramento at right-back during Newcastle’s recent match, signaling a possible departure.

Everton has already initiated talks with Newcastle regarding Trippier, who will turn 34 next month.

Dyche, who had great success with Trippier at Burnley, would likely use the “exceptional” defender in his preferred right-back position.

While Newcastle already has experienced players like 35-year-old Seamus Coleman and 39-year-old Ashley Young in similar roles, Trippier’s departure seems to mark the end of an era.

Though crucial under Eddie Howe’s management, Trippier now appears to be a symbol of Newcastle’s past.

Earlier this summer, Galatasaray expressed interest in him, and it seems increasingly likely that Trippier will soon embark on a new chapter in his career.
