The festive spirit hit Newcastle United star Kieran Trippier on Christmas Day. <\/p>\n

Trippier<\/a>, who has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United<\/a> during the January transfer window, was the first signing of the PIF<\/a> era.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The defender arrived at the club from Atletico Madrid in January 2022 and is generally seen as the standard-setter at St James\u2019 Park<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Hot take: I\u2019m starting to think Newcastle United should sell Kieran Trippier in January \u2013 prove me wrong <\/p>\n

Would be painful but need to cash in while we can! \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n

Plus, Lewis Miley has now become the Geordie Maldini \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

He was a transformative signing, instantly improving Eddie Howe<\/a>\u2018s first team all while helping raise the levels of players who were already at the club. <\/p>\n

Trippier is one of the greatest signings in Newcastle United history<\/a> and one of the players he helped improve was no doubt Miguel Almiron<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Kieran Trippier says he misses Miguel Almiron at Newcastle United <\/p>\n

The two formed a wonderful partnership down the right-hand side of Howe\u2019s team until reasonably recently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indeed, Trippier loved playing with Almiron at Newcastle<\/a> because of his diligent defensive work. <\/p>\n

Jacob Murphy would eventually overtake the Paraguayan, who left Newcastle to return to former club Atlanta United in January of this year. <\/p>\n

It was\u00a0of\u00a0little\u00a0surprise, then,\u00a0that\u00a0Trippier\u00a0responded when Almiron posted an image on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0in which he was celebrating Christmas with his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trippier commented: \u201cMiss my partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who is the one player you were FURIOUS with Newcastle United for selling? Go back as far as you want! <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll start: I\u2019m still not over Mike Ashley selling Andy Carroll to Liverpool all those years ago!\ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n

Kieran Trippier\u2019s partnership with Miguel Almiron at Newcastle United <\/p>\n

In total, Trippier and Almiron played 89 times together for Newcastle and linked up for one goal, which came against Burnley back in 2023. <\/p>\n

Trippier and Almiron had a brilliant relationship at Newcastle<\/a>, although Murphy was right to have taken his place towards the end of the Paraguayan\u2019s time at the club. <\/p>\n

Still, the two\u00a0represent\u00a0the most exciting early part of the PIF era at Newcastle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trippier brought class, while Almiron\u2019s improvement summed up the work Howe had done to yield vast improvements out of the players he inherited from Steve Bruce. <\/p>\n
