In January, as the transfer market heats up, the preparing "Newcastle" club presented their first newcomer on Friday. As expected, it was the right-back Kieran Trippier arriving from Madrid's "Atletico". The 31-year-old Englishman signed a contract that will be valid until the summer of 2024. "I am excited to have the opportunity to join this fantastic club. I really enjoyed playing in Madrid, but when I found out about Newcastle's interest, I knew I wanted to move to this club," said K. Trippier after signing the contract. "I understand that we have a lot of work ahead of us. Playing in the Premier League is very challenging, but we have many talented footballers," added the Englishman. "Newcastle" is currently in 19th place in the Premier League.
