Everton are being mooted with a move to sign Kieran Trippier from Newcastle United.

Kieran Trippier has been on Everton’s radar for some time, and David Moyes could reignite his interest in the former England international after it was announced he would be leaving Newcastle.

Trippier’s deal on Tyneside expires at the end of the season, so Everton have the chance to land his signature on a free transfer.

With that said, we decided to ask our TalkingPoints users and our Facebook community whether they think he’d be a good signing.

Everton fans split on potential Kieran Trippier signing

It’s fair to say that Everton fans are pretty divided on the potential addition of Trippier, who turns 36 in September.

Would this be a good signing on a one-year deal? 🤔

Kieran Trippier question.

Some were all for it, with his European experience a notable plus point, whilst others think he’s way past his best days.

As referenced above, Everton certainly should hold themselves to the same standards as Newcastle, so if Trippier is deemed not good enough there, the same should apply for the Toffees.

Perhaps as a squad player, he would be a good option, but a much younger right-back should be recruited as well.

Arsenal’s Ben White has been linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and so too has Genoa’s Brooke Norton-Cuffy, who represents England at under-21s level.
