TOON REJECT BAYERN’S £13m TRIPPIER BID
NEWCASTLE UNITED have rejected Bayern Munich’s £12.8m offer for Kieran Trippier. The German club submitted their third proposal yesterday after a loan approach and a ‘lowball’ permanent package were turned down over the weekend. Newcastle are determined to keep Trippier but Bayern have been given encouragement that the 33-year-old is open to a move, if the Magpies were to accept an offer. However, he will not agitate to leave and is happy playing under Eddie Howe. Miguel Almiron would prefer to stay at Newcastle after an approach was made by Saudi club Al Shabab, whose proposal was a permanent deal of around £17m. Newcastle are closing on an agreement with
MANCHESTER CITY to sign midfielder Alfie Harrison, 18. WEST HAM are in talks with Danish side Nordsjaelland over a £16m deal for Ghanaian winger Ibrahim Osman, 19.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST are in talks to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Gio Reyna, as well as Carlos Borges from Ajax, both on loan. The deal for Reyna, 21, a USA international, includes an option to buy. Borges, 19, also a winger, was a target for Forest and West Ham last summer but he joined Ajax instead from Manchester City for £12m.
