Everton will not be signing Kieran Trippier this summer after he has made his choice over his next move.

David Moyes and the recruitment team back at Finch Farm are on the lookout for a new right-back this summer.

Trippier was linked with a move to Everton just last week, but the 35-year-old veteran will not be playing Premier League football next season.

Kieran Trippier makes choice on next club amid Everton interest

Trippier had received interest from Saudi Arabia, but the opportunity to remain in England has proven massive for the defender.

Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie has revealed Trippier will be joining Wolves despite their relegation to the Championship.

Trippier has given the green light to join Wolves on a two-year deal, with the option for a third year.

His medical will take place next week once he has returned to the country from his family holiday.

This is news that will please a number of supporters despite Everton’s clear need to bring in some quality at right-back.

Taking to TalkingPoints, there were a lot of Everton fans who did not want to sign Trippier this summer.

The 35-year-old proved a terrific signing for Newcastle United and their recent progression under their new owners, but Everton supporters want to see more ambition in the market.

Ironically, Everton have enquired about Georgios Vagiannidis, a younger option to Trippier, who would likely also raise eyebrows over The Friedkin Group’s ambition.

Right-back has proven a real issue for the 63-year-old since he returned to Merseyside last year.

With one option now off the table, fans will have one eye on where the market may take their side next.
