Newcastle boss Howe wants £25m Kieran Trippier transfer and Burnley duo James Tarkowski and Ben Mee in relegation fight

EDDIE HOWE wants Atletico Madrid’s Kieran Trippier plus Burnley’s Ben Mee and James Tarkowski at Newcastle.

The new Toon boss is pushing to sign Premier League experience for their survival fight.

Atletico right-back Trippier would cost around £25million and demand big wages.

Howe also wants Turf Moor pair Tarkowski AND Mee, who are out of contract in the summer.

Moves for Hoffenheim’s Florian Grillitsch and Dusan Vlahovic of Fiorentina are on the radar as well.

Newcastle secured their first win of the Premier League in their 15th game on Saturday.

Callum Wilson scored the all-important winner in the 1-0 victory over relegation rivals Burnley.

The three points still leave the Toon in the dreaded drop zone, but gives them a huge lift in their race to beat the drop.
