All the English media, including
Sky Sports
, agree that Kieran Trippier (31) will join Newcastle.
The English right-back, although a holder at Atlético de Madrid, the reigning Spanish champion, will be the first reinforcement of the nouveau riche across the Channel, recently bought by a Saudi consortium.
It will cost € 14 million excluding bonuses for the Magpies, 19th in the Premier League.
His medical visit is expected this Wednesday.
Newcastle is surely just getting started in the winter market.
