Kieran Trippier is definitely staying put at Newcastle United this January. He started the FA Cup fourth round win over Fulham earlier today, at his usual right back position. We expect to see the English international at that slot again, Tuesday night, when the Geordies take on Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Newcastle held firm on their price for the fullback, and thus, Bayern Munich dropped their interest after not being able to meet it.

So now we move on as the January transfer window enters its final days. Will something substantial happen at St. James Park? We’ll cover that as we get closer to the 11th hour of the window.
