NewcastleWorld understands Howe & Co have turned their attention towards acquiring a central defender and a striker, the latter forced due to concerns over Callum Wilson’s fitness.
Indeed, Lille’s Netherlands under-21s Sven Botman is a player high on the club’s wishlist.
It is understood an improved bid has been launched as United look to test the French outfit’s resolve. Their initial stance is Botman was not for sale.
While Howe reiterated that January is a difficult market to deal in, the arrival of Trippier has made him confident that others will arrive too, preferably before the big Premier League relegation six-pointer with Watford next weekend.
“Kieran hasn’t come for the financial benefits,” Howe insisted. “He’s come for the club and the challenge that the team faces at this current time and the longer-term vision.
“That’s a massive thing for the football club. Hopefully, with his signing, other players around the world will potentially look at that and share his dream and vision.
