‘You just wish he was 10 years younger’ – Anderson on departing Trippier

Former Newcastle United defender John Anderson says Kieran Trippier’s impact and importance to the Magpies since signing for the club in January 2022 “cannot be exaggerated”. The right-back, who is set to leave St James’ Park when his contract expires at the end of the season, joined the Magpies when they were in the relegation zone and has played a big role in the rebuild under Eddie Howe. “He was a major coup four years ago,” said Anderson on BBC Radio Newcastle.
