Bayern Munich were linked with a move for Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier in January, but a deal failed to materialize.

Speaking at the North East Football Writers' Awards, the 33-year-old right-back reflected on the interest shown in him by the German champions.

"I'm 33 years old, I never thought that someone like Bayern would come in for me at the age that I’m at, so I take it as a compliment," Trippier said, adding:

"A massive club – I think plenty of other players would have jumped at the chance to go to Bayern, and that's a fact.

"But I've been loyal to the club and my family is important – travelling three different countries in three years, it’s not really ideal, is it?"
