      Five new clubs for Kieran Trippier after wife moves out and ditches ring including Mourinho link-up and emotional return

      by

      KIERAN TRIPPIER could soon be on his way to a new club.But where could the Englishman end up?Kieran Trippier could be on his way out of Newcastle in JanuaryCredit: GettyHis marriage with wife Charlotte is on the rocksCredit: GettyThe footballer and his wife have both been spotted without their wedding ringsCredit: SplashSunSport revealed how the defender is “desperate” to leave Newcastle amid his struggles on and off the pitch.Less than 12 months after Bayern Munich failed in their attempts to sign him, Trippier is losing the battle with Tino Livramento as the first-choice right-back under Eddie Howe this term and has retired from England international availability.Away from football, his marriage is on the rocks with wife Charlotte moving 200 miles away with their children – as both have removed their wedding rings. It comes after Trippier was spotted wrapping his arms around a blonde woman at a karaoke bar before scooping her up during a night out with team-mates.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLKieran and Charlotte have not commented publicly on the rumours they have split. But now the footballer is keen for a reset moment in his career – and he is unlikely to be short of options from a link-up with Jose Mourinho to an emotional return.FenerbahceThe club reportedly leading the chase for Trippier’s signature in January is said to be Fenerbahce.The Turkish giants showed interest over the summer following Mourinho’s arrival in the dugout.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSA strong start to the season sees the Special One sitting second behind high-flying Galatasaray.Should Trippier make the move, there would be plenty of recognisable faces with ex-Premier League players Edin Dzeko, Dusan Tadic, Fred, Caglar Soyuncu, Cengiz Under, Allan Saint-Maximin, Cenk Tosun and Sofyan Amrabat all now at Fenerbahce. Kieran Trippier goes viral during Newcastle’s clash at Bournemouth after painful moment is caught on Sky Sports camerasJose Mourinho reportedly wants Trippier at FenerbahceCredit: GettyA January loan deal would be preferred by the Yellow Canaries but Newcastle would likely want a permanent transfer. AC MilanAC Milan are also thought to be monitoring Trippier’s situation keenly.They could present him with the chance to represent another of Europe’s biggest clubs following his stints with Newcastle and Atletico Madrid. Paulo Fonseca is currently the man in charge at the San Siro and could tempt ex-Tottenham man Trippier with a return to the Champions League. Former Chelsea and England trio Fikayo Tomori, Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all at AC Milan.But Trippier would need to usurp Emerson Royal and club-captain Davide Calabria for a spot in the starting XI.Trippier could whip in plenty of crosses for Tammy AbrahamCredit: GettyAtalantaAnother Italian job could be on the cards for Trippier with Atalanta.Like Milan and Fenerbahce, they are hoping to seal a loan in January to bolster their defence.A tricky start to the Serie A campaign included a 4-0 thumping at Inter.But a 0-0 draw with Arsenal provided a much-needed boost before losing to Cesc Fabregas’ Como. La Dea booked their place in the Champions League by winning the Europa League and there are a few notable names in the Atalanta team.They include Ademola Lookman, Ben Godfrey, Nicolo Zaniolo, Rui Patricio and Sead Kolasinac.The defender could return to the Champions League with AtalantaCredit: AlamyBurnleyTrippier may have come through at Manchester City but it was during his time at Burnley that he made a name for himself. The Clarets were relegated under Vincent Kompany last season but Scott Parker has got them on track for an immediate return to the top flight.Trippier is thought to want to get away from the Premier League – an emotional return to Turf Moor could provide that.However, it could also provide the chance for him to battle for another promotion, 11 years on from finishing second in the Championship under Sean Dyche.A few months away from the spotlight to focus on his football and take Burnley – and himself – back into the big time could be a tempting proposition. Plus, Parker would no doubt appreciate some extra experience and quality in the second half of the season. Trippier made a name for himself at Burnley, helping them into the Premier LeagueCredit: Action Images – ReutersSaudi ArabiaLastly, a move to the Middle East, specifically the Saudi Pro League, cannot be ruled out.Trippier has just turned 34 and knows he is unlikely to get another bumper contract like he could in Saudi. A deal would be easy enough to strike between the buying club and Newcastle’s Saudi owners.Trippier has visited the country on training camps with the Toon plus the weather is better than in the North-East.READ MORE SUN STORIESThere was Saudi interest in the summer – as well as from Dyche’s Everton – and Trippier even shared a photo alongside Tom Spring, head of scouting for Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq. Again, a move there, or any of the other mega-rich clubs, would give Trippier space away from the Premier League pressures and scrutiny. He has spent time in Saudi Arabia for warm-weather training, could he move permanently?Credit: Getty More

      Ben Chilwell ‘thrown career lifeline’ after Chelsea star failed to secure transfer deadline day switch

      BEN CHILWELL has been thrown a career lifeline after being offered a Chelsea escape route, reports suggest.The 27-year-old has effectively been frozen out of Chelsea’s squad by new boss Enzo Maresca after being told he does not feature in the manager’s plans.Ben Chilwell has been offered a career lifeline after failing to secure a move away from ChelseaCredit: GettyChilwell is content to stay at Stamford Bridge but has an offer from overseasCredit: GettyChilwell, who signed for the club for £45million from Leicester in 2020 and was named vice-captain last season, is down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.Marc Cucurella and new signing Renato Veiga are both ahead of him for the left-back slot.Chilwell had been joined in the Blues “bomb squad” by Raheem Sterling and Trevoh Chalobah, who both managed to secure loan deals away from the club on deadline day.However, the 21-cap England international was unable to secure a transfer despite reported interest from Brentford and Manchester United, though the latter are understood to have never initiated talks.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLInstead, Chilwell, who is earning £200,000-a-week with three years to run on his deal, will have to secure a transfer overseas if he is to earn playing minutes this season.According to GiveMeSport, Chilwell is thought to be content at Stamford Bridge and will not move unless the right move presents itself.The Dutch and Portuguese transfer windows both shut tonight, as well as the transfer window for Saudi Arabia, although it’s understood Chilwell is not keen on a move to the Middle East.One window that will remain open for a while longer is the Turkish Super Lig window, which does not close until September 13.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSThe report claims Chilwell has been offered the chance to link up with former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce, who lost Ferdi Kadioglu to Brighton late in the window.That would see him link up with a host of ex-Premier League stars.Chelsea Player Ratings vs Crystal PalaceThese include Fred, Allan Saint-Maximin, Çağlar Söyüncü, Dusan Tadic, Sofyan Amrabat, Cenk Tosun and Edin Dzeko.Former Rangers star Ryan Kent is also at the club, along with well-known names on the continent such as Cengiz Ünder, Youssef En-Nesyri, Dominik Livakovic and Emre Mor.Chelsea are a circus – it will be TERRIBLE for football if they win anything, says Troy DeeneyCHELSEA are a circus — aren’t they?, writes Troy Deeney.But the bigger concern should be if somehow, some way, Todd Boehly’s insane master-plan brings about success this season.Finish in the top four. Win a trophy like the FA Cup.He will then turn around and say: “See, it works” and all of a sudden, other clubs will begin considering copying this mad model to try and compete in the Premier League.Before you know it, there will be a bigger divide between the top clubs and the rest and this country’s top flight will become something we have been fighting against — a Super League.The smaller sides and promoted teams will be wiped out by the elite and will end up saying, ‘What’s the point?’Football as we know it will change, and there will be no going back.As a neutral, you don’t want to wish failure on a club or a regime, but it’s depressing to think about.We should almost be looking at it in amazement — the owners have come in with this model and they’ve treated it as if they are buying stocks and shares, not players or human beings.Boehly has wiped away any sense of sentiment or old-school values from that club and the worrying thing is that he doesn’t seem to care.Does he even like football?Read Troy Deeney’s hard-hitting opinion on Boehly’s Chelsea shambles in full.Or check out all of Troy’s columns on SunSport.
