England star Kieran Trippier lined up for shock Premier League transfer from Newcastle to rival club

NEWCASTLE star Kieran Trippier is being lined up with a transfer to West Ham, according to reports.

The defender starred in every England game at the Euros and was a regular for the Magpies last season.

But he is now 33-years-old and has been linked with a move away from St James’ Park this season amid interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.

West Ham are also showing interest in the right-back and could be set to launch a bid, according to The Telegraph.

New boss Julen Lopetegui has reportedly earmarked the position as one in need of improvement, with Vladimir Coufal occupying the role in recent seasons.

West Ham have tried to sign Manchester United star Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters, but both deals have hit obstacles.

SunSport understands the Hammers are willing to meet United’s £18million valuation of Wan-Bissaka.

And while the defender is open to moving to East London, he has no huge desire to leave United and is refusing to sell himself short.

Wan-Bissaka’s representatives are pushing for United to give the player a chunk of the £18m fee they will receive from West Ham in order to get the deal done this summer.

He wants an increase on his £90,000-a-week salary to join West Ham, which the club are unwilling to offer.

West Ham have been busy in the transfer market this summer having already confirmed the capture of Niclas Fullkrug, Guido Rodriguez, Luis Guilherme, Crysencio Summerville and Max Kilman.

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has also been linked to West Ham in recent days but the club may need to sell before they can make a bid for the England international.
