20 English Players Newcastle Should Sign This Summer
13. Kieran Trippier
Age: 24 Position: Right-Back Current Club: Burnley (2012-) Previous Clubs: Manchester City (2008-12), Barnsley (loan, 2010-11 and 2011-12), Burnley (loan, 2011-12) Estimated Market Value: £3.5 million League Appearances (Goals) 2014-15: 38 (0) England Under-21 Caps (Goals): 2 (0) Right-back is not an area that Newcastle are lacking in but, if Daryl Janmaat did get an offer from a Champions League side, then the Magpies should look to replace him with Kieran Trippier. The 24-year-old right-back reportedly has a £3.5 million buy-out clause in his contract and, after impressing during his debut season in the Premier League, that would appear to be a bargain. Former England Under-21 international Trippier was magnificent during Burnleys promotion campaign from the Championship in 2013-14 and he has continued his form into the Premier League. He played in every single one of Burnleys 38 Premier League games during the 2014-15 season and contributed an impressive four assists from right-back.
