Newcastle boss Howe: Livramento good competition for Trippier

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is delighted with the progress of Tino Livramento.

Howe is happy with the young fullback.

He said: "He's an outstanding player. That's why I fought so hard to sign him. His best years are ahead of him. I'm the biggest fan of him.

"His primary position is right-back and he's fighting with Kieran (Trippier). But he will no doubt get his time and hopefully play a lot of games for this club.

"I love him at left-back as well. I think he's done extremely well there. He's been incredible in that position."
