Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier took to social media to celebrate their 2-0 League Cup win over Arsenal after being linked with a move away.

According to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail Turkish giants Galatasaray retain an interest in Trippier and could make a move before their window ends on February 11, but the fans aren’t on board.

The 34-year-old played the full 90 minutes as Eddie Howe’s side booked a place in the final with a comprehensive 4-0 aggregate win over Arsenal.

Jacob Murphy was in the right place at the right time to open the scoring, latching on to Alexander Isak’s shot that bounced off the post to score into an open net.

Football Insider revealed (February 4) that Eddie Howe was looking to sign a new winger and a centre-back in the January transfer window but was ultimately denied.

In-form winger Anthony Gordon doubled Newcastle’s lead in the 52nd minute, capitalising on David Raya’s dismal attempt to play out from the back.

Trippier has been in and out of the squad this season, starting just nine of his 19 appearances across all competitions and failing to provide a goal contribution in his 837 minutes of action.

The right-back took to Instagram after the win over Arsenal, saying: “Nights like these! Unbelievable performance and support tonight. Newcastle are going to Wembley.”

Captain Bruno Guimaraes also took to social media to send a ‘difficult’ message to the fans after their impressive performance against Arsenal.

Football Insider also revealed (February 4) that Newcastle are ready to battle it out with Liverpool for the signature of Marc Guehi as they aim to build on their good season.
