Newcastle United complete £12m signing of Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid as England star becomes the first arrival under the club's new ownership in statement signing for Eddie Howe's strugglers

Newcastle United have made their first signing under their new ownership, with England star joining the Toon in a £12million deal from Atletico Madrid.

The Magpies are set for a busy January transfer window with new boss Eddie Howe desperate for reinforcements in a bid to stave off the threat of relegation from the Premier League.

The club's new owners - led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund - have given Howe their backing this window and have made a statement signing in landing Trippier from LaLiga champions Atletico.
