Kieran Tripper did not join Newcastle 'for financial benefits', says Eddie Howe

And Howe says the £12million capture of Trippier from Atletico Madrid should encourage others to join the Magpies, despite their position in the Premier League bottom three.

I’m so happy to be joining Newcastle. Everyone knows the fans are unbelievably passionate and I will give my absolute all for them.
