Ex Atletico Madrid defender, Kieran Trippier joining Newcastle United is not for financial reasons, Eddie Howe has said. He recently had his say while speaking with the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the English defender returned to England for the challenge, and it is a sign that the club has a huge pull right now.
Trippier added that Newcastle has a long term vision right now and players are willing to be a part of it.
His words, “It’s a sign that the club has a huge pull – and I’m not talking financial here,”
“Kieran hasn’t come for the financial benefits of the contract. He’s come for the club and for the challenge that the team faces at the current time, but also the longer-term vision, so I think that’s a massive thing for the football club.”
“Hopefully with his signing, other players around the world will potentially look at that and share his dream and his vision for what he sees,”
“But we’re in the hands of clubs selling players, we’re in the hands of agents and players wanting to come.”
“There are no guarantees. It might sound simple from the outside; it’s very, very different when you’re on the inside, so I’m confident, but there are no promises.”
