Newcastle United have signed England international Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid for a fee of £12 million plus add-ons. The right-back has penned a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Magpies.

Magpies Secure Key Signing

Trippier's arrival is a significant boost for Newcastle, who are currently battling relegation from the Premier League. The experienced defender has a proven track record in England and is expected to add stability and quality to the Magpies' back line.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe described Trippier as "a fantastic signing" and said he is "excited to work with him." Trippier, who has 35 caps for England, is expected to make his debut for Newcastle in their next match against Watford.
