Newcastle 'are growing confident they can make Kieran Trippier their first signing of the January transfer window' after Magpies boss Eddie Howe made the full-back a priority target

Newcastle are reportedly growing in confidence that they can sign Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid to become their first signing of the January transfer window.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe is said to have made the full back one of his priority targets as he looks to bring in reinforcements ahead of Newcastle's looming relegation battle.

The England international is reportedly open to making a return to England and could be made available by Atletico Madrid, who could risk losing him for nothing at the end of the season.
