Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has hinted they're eager to close a deal for Newcastle United fullback Kieran Trippier.

Tuchel admits they're seeking a player of Trippier's type.

He said he can't talk "names" but stated: "It is complicated. "Other clubs are aiming for the same.

"The winter transfer window is more complicated than the summer. 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."
