Trippier announces he's staying with Newcastle

Kieran Trippier has announced he's staying with Newcastle United.

The fullback was the subject of multiple offers from Bayern Munich last week.

"There's no place I'd rather be," Trippier told BBC Radio Newcastle after his side reached the FA Cup fifth round.

"There's been a lot of speculation about me recently but, as always, I'm committed here. 100% committed, as I have been since I first signed.

"It's over. As I've said before, I'm committed. I've had a nice break with my family and I'm not worrying about anything. I'm committed to the club - they've done a lot for me and I want to give back.

"I've been quiet but not thrown my toys out of the pram or anything. I'm happy here, like I've always said, and want to give everything for the club.

"I'm old enough now and have been around the block. At my age, I can only take it [Bayern's interest] as a compliment. I'm here now and want to give everything for Newcastle.

"Unsettling? No, because I'm a professional. I'm experienced and try to block all the noise out."
