Kieran Trippier is 'considering cancelling his agreement with Wolves' just days after joining club

In a remarkable series of events, Kieran Trippier is reportedly considering ripping up his agreement with Championship side Wolves, just days after they confirmed his arrival on a two-year deal.

Trippier, who left Newcastle United this summer following the expiry of his contract, was described by manager Rob Edwards this week as a "real coup" given their recent relegation to England's second tier.

“I’m so happy to bring him here, because when we met, it was really evident that he really wants to come to Wolves," said Edwards. "He wants to help us get promoted again, so this is really something for us to achieve."

Trippier also expressed his delight at signing for the club, saying he was "absolutely delighted to be here" amid interest from Premier League sides.

The 35-year-old also opened up on having a "good chat" with Edwards. "What struck me first was how passionate he was for helping the club move forward to get out of the Championship next season," he added.

But on Thursday morning, just days after those comments were made public, Edwards was sacked by Wolves after just seven months in charge - a decision that has reportedly irked Trippier.

In fact, he is considering cancelling his agreement with the club, according to journalist Pete O'Rourke, who claims the defender feels like he has been 'misled' by the club following the sacking of Edwards.

It is also noted that Trippier’s deal at Wolves will start on July 1.

Wolves issue statement explaining Rob Edwards sack decision

Edwards, who took the Wolves job in November after replacing Vitor Pereira, was shocked to hear the news about his sacking on Wednesday night and is angry with the way it was conveyed, according to Sky Sports.

The club are set to replace him with Cesar Peixoto from Portuguese outfit Gil Vicente.

Wolves executive chairman Nathan Shi explained the decision to part ways with Edwards in a statement on the club's website.

"This has been an extremely difficult decision. Following the end of the season, we undertook a thorough review of every aspect of the football operation," he said.

"This process involved careful consideration of many factors and extensive reflection on what we believe is required to help the club progress over the coming years.

"Our decision was not about character, professionalism or dedication. It was about determining what we believe gives Wolves the strongest opportunity to move forward from a sporting perspective.

"While there were positive signs and areas of progress, we ultimately concluded that a different football direction would better align with the style, identity and level of competitiveness we want to establish at the club.

"It would have been easier to continue with what was familiar. However, leadership is not about choosing the easiest path, but about making the difficult decisions we believe are right for the future of the football club which will put Wolves on the strongest platform to move forward."
