Newcastle United have confirmed January signing Kieran Trippier's squad number for the rest of the season.
The England international's expected arrival from La Liga champions Atletico Madrid was confirmed on Friday morning in a deal believed to be worth £12m.
Trippier has signed a two-and-a-half year contract at St James' Park, and will link up once again with Eddie Howe having previously signed for the Magpies head coach during his time at Burnley.

He told the club's website: "I'm delighted to be joining this fantastic club. I really enjoyed my time in Madrid, but when I became aware of interest from Newcastle United, and having worked with Eddie Howe before, I knew this was where I wanted to be.
"I'm aware there is a lot of work ahead of us but I know the demands of Premier League well and I know what an amazing club this is with very talented players. I can't wait to get started and I'm excited to step out at St. James' Park as a Newcastle player."
Trippier is the first of several expected Magpies signings this month, and the right-back has taken the number 15 shirt.
