Newcastle has agreed to a £12m fee plus add-ons with Atletico Madrid for England full-back Kieran Trippier.

The 31-year-old is set to be Newcastle’s first signing under their new Saudi owners – and first for new manager Eddie Howe since he took charge in November.

Trippier, who joined La Liga side Atletico in 2019 from Tottenham for £20m, will have a medical on Wednesday.

He will be reunited with Howe, who signed him while he was at Burnley.

Trippier has made 83 appearances for the Spanish club, which won La Liga last season.
