Eddie’s got the readies
FROM BACK PAGE and now Newcastle will turn their attention to buying a centre-half – with Lille’s Sven Botman and Burnley’s James Tarkowski the top two options.
Eddie Howe is also keen on Lloyd
Kelly at his old club Bournemouth.
But the Geordies could be pipped by Chelsea or West
Ham for Everton’s French left-back Lucas Digne.
Another position they want to strengthen is in central midfield and, intriguingly, Wales star Aaron Ramsey has been told he can leave Juventus where he has been a £400,000-aweek drain on their wage bill.
Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri confirmed: “Aaron Ramsey is now set to leave us. We’re working on it.”
Atletico boss Diego Simeone waved farewell to Trippier, saying: “We’re grateful for everything Kieran did – he’s behaved very well.”
