Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in a shock transfer for Newcastle star Kieran Trippier to add to their growing number of English talent. Bayern have signed Harry Kane and Eric Dier over the last six months and have reportedly identified Trippier as a possible new right-back.
The Bundesliga side are keen to strengthen in the position after losing Noussair Mazraoui to the Africa Cup of Nations. Thomas Tuchel admitted earlier this month that the right side of his defence is where he wishes to add competition in the January transfer window.
“We are looking for a right-back who is strong in duels. We’ll see if something is possible,” the former Chelsea boss said.
“Nous Mazraoui is at the Africa Cup, but we have also gotten used to Konrad Laimer at right-back, even though it’s not his best position. If there’s an opportunity on the market, we’ll take it. Otherwise things will stay this way.”
