Newcastle United has already reached an agreement with one of the Premier League’s “best” players for the 2026 season. 2025 has been a year of resurgence for the 34-year-old at Newcastle. Trippier has started each of Newcastle’s last nine matches,

 

 

 

contributing significantly to the team’s ascent to third in the Premier League table and their Carabao Cup victory, despite having only started five games in all competitions prior to the turn of the year. In March of last year, Trippier sustained a calf injury that ultimately restricted his ability to contribute during the concluding months of the 2023-24 campaign.

 

 

 

 

He was able to recuperate prior to his departure for the 2024 Euros with England, where he was a consistent starter. Eddie Howe’s preferred full-back options were Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall, as Trippier’s influence at Newcastle was limited by a busy summer and a limited pre-season. However, the season-ending injury to Hall has arguably been a boon in disguise for Trippier, as Livramento has been relegated to the left, enabling him to resume his preferred right-back position.

he has excelled in this capacity.Newcastle’s 70-year drought for a domestic trophy was finally ended by his performances in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg and final against Arsenal and Liverpool, respectively. He was instrumental in the team’s victory, which was won as a team with Bruno Guimaraes and Jamaal Lascelles.

 

 

 

 

Newcastle has maintained four clean sheets and won seven of their last eight games with Trippier in the lineup. The full-back was the star of the match in the Magpies’ recent 3-0 victory over Ipswich Town, as he provided two assists to Dan Burn and Will Osula at St James’ Park. Newcastle’s head coach, Howe, responded, “I do not believe there are many better right-backs in the Premier League than Trippier.”

 

 

 

 

I believe it is a true testament to his physical capabilities to perform at his age. “It is not an easy task.” He is currently occupying one of the most challenging positions to execute. Really, his excellence is encapsulated by his cross for the second goal [for Osula].
