Newcastle 'will make England star Kieran Trippier their highest paid player' to tempt him to leave Atletico Madrid in January and join Eddie Howe's side in relegation dogfight

Newcastle United will reportedly step up their attempts to sign Kieran Trippier in the January transfer window, with a lucrative offer set to be handed to the player.

The England international will be out of contract at the end of the season, and newly-rich Newcastle are hopeful of tempting his club Atletico Madrid into signing off a deal next month to recoup some cash.

Trippier, 31, will become the highest earning star at St James' Park if he opts to swap the Spanish capital for north east England, according to TalkSport.
