However, Howe states that he still has a use for Trippier, even if he is no longer first choice.

"You could see today how committed Kieran is to us and how much we need him," he said after a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. 

"That's why I've said all along we are desperate for him to stay."

On the club’s hopes of signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, he added: "I don't know to be honest. I hope so, we've been working hard on that, but it's not in my hands."
