Bayern Munich coach Tuchel coy over interest in Newcastle fullback Trippier

Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is coy over their interest in Newcastle United fullback Kieran Trippier.

Bayern are said to be in talks today for the England defender.

Asked about the rumours, Tuchel said: "Transfer window names, I won't comment on that, you know that.

"We don't want other clubs talking about our players either. The positions where we have to enforce our squad are well defined.

"We have a right midfielder playing right-back. We'd like somebody who can help us more there (right-back).

"If we have a possibility to win (over) other players as we did with Eric Dier, if we are convinced about their character, if we have the possibility then we will do it. "But the package is a huge one because we are playing on a high level."
