Everton manager Dyche downplays Trippier transfer rumors

The Newcastle United veteran is reportedly available for transfer after being deemed surplus to requirements by his current club.

While the 33-year-old would add depth in a problem position, Dyche was noncommittal about the speculation. 

“(Jarrad Branthwaite) is still a bit away at the moment,” he said to reporters.  

“Seamus is a bit closer, Garner is a bit closer just coming back in training with the group.  

“Tarky has got a maybe situation - so we're going to have to look at that.”
