On August 23, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said at a pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Bournemouth that Trippier was business as usual and remains a key part of the team.
Speaking about this round’s opponent, Bournemouth, Eddie Howe said: “We’ve had two very tough games against them this season. They are a very athletic team. If you don’t attack, they will hurt you in transition. We won’t be fooled by the difficulty of this game. We need to perform better away from home than last season.”
When asked about Trippier’s departure rumours, Eddie Howe stressed: “Business as usual. Defender Trippier remains a key part of his plans.”
Previously, according to British media reports, West Ham United, having failed to sign Wan-Bissaka, has turned its attention to Trippier, the England international who plays for Newcastle United.
