Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe confident in retaining top players amid transfer speculations

Posted : 26 January 2024

As the transfer window approaches its end, Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe addressed rumors about potential departures, particularly focusing on full back Kieran Trippier, who has been linked with Bayern Munich.

 

Howe expressed optimism about Trippier staying, emphasizing that the player has not shown any inclination to leave. The manager clarified that recent discussions with Trippier revolved around Newcastle's future, and he is confident in the player's commitment to the club, stating, "His situation is finished."

 

In addition to Trippier, there have been speculations surrounding the futures of Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson. Howe conveyed his desire to retain Almiron and affirmed Wilson's unwavering commitment to the club.

 

However, the situation with Joelinton is less certain. The Brazilian midfielder sustained a serious thigh injury in the FA Cup match against Sunderland, ruling him out until May. Although Howe expressed his hope for Joelinton to stay, he acknowledged the possibility of a summer transfer if a contract extension agreement is not reached.

 

Regarding Joelinton's injury, Howe described it as a "massive blow" for the team, acknowledging that the severity was not immediately apparent. While the manager hopes Joelinton remains with the club, he acknowledged the uncertainty, stating, "Before a player signs a contract, he has to be happy with everything... and so it's a possibility he'll be sold in the summer."

 

Newcastle faces Fulham in the FA Cup fourth-round, presenting an opportunity to shift focus from recent league struggles and regain their best form. Howe emphasized the importance of the competition and expressed the team's eagerness to progress.
