Former England international Kieran Trippier is set to join recently relegated Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers as a free agent, according to Sky Sports. The 35-year-old right-back has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with an option for an additional season. The move to the 'Wolves' will be confirmed following the experienced defender's medical examinations, scheduled for next week upon his return from a family vacation.
Next month, Trippier will conclude his four-year tenure at Newcastle, where he made 160 appearances and scored 4 goals, as reported by BTA.
Wolves fended off competition from several European clubs to secure the former Tottenham player. Manager Rob Edwards views Kieran Trippier as a crucial leader who can immediately help the team return to England's top flight.
After eight consecutive seasons in the Premier League, the 'Wolves' finished last with a mere 20 points, resulting in their relegation to the Championship.
