It has been much known that Newcastle United had a miserable summer transfer event where they failed to bring Eddie Howe's desired reinforcements.

Newcastle's rumors about 18-year-old prodigy might help veteran full-back free
According to iNews, Eddie Howe's side has been closely considering Chelsea's prodigy talent, Josh Acheampong, for their full-back depth. Even though Chelsea considers the talent not for sale, the PL club believes that the Blues might look forward to selling him in the future to take the PSR advantages.
However, reports suggest that Acheampong has been on the Magpies' radar for some time now, and the club had tried to bring him in the summer but had failed. Given his talent and age, the right-back could be the perfect future option for Eddie Howe's side alongside the club's rising star Tino Livramento.
While Acheampong's deal would be significantly helpful for the club's future, interestingly, it could help veteran full-back Kieran Trippier as well. Not to forget, after losing the armband to Bruno Guimaraes and being considered no more a starter, Trippier had been asking for a move in the end stages of the transfer window.
In fact, some Turkish clubs had even offered for the 33-year-old veteran, but Eddie Howe stopped a potential move, considering him as key until the club found his replacement. So far this season, Trippier has made a meager 2 appearances, that too as a substitute, making it clear that he isn't in the club's future plans.

In such a scenario, Acheampong's arrival at Newcastle Club could set Kieran Trippier free to make a move. Having some years of professional football left in him, the star full-back can easily continue in some of the European clubs or even make a move to Saudi Arabia. Overall, Acheampong's potential deal would not only help Newcastle in securing a star prospect but significantly ease out Trippier's situation at the club.
