KIERAN TRIPPIER already has one shot off target as a Newcastle player.
The right-back drew laughs after bizarrely pointing to his SLEEVE rather than the Toon badge at his official unveiling.
Trips became the first signing of the mega-rich Saudi era on Tyneside when he joined from Atletico Madrid for £12million.
And fans were quick to poke fun after the Magpies released a snap of their new man pointing at their sponsor’s logo.
User Janmpolsky wrote on Twitter: “Hope he’s more accurate with his crosses!”
Fan Willftbl added: “Let’s hope he can pick out a man better than he can pick out the badge.”
And Lee Cruickshank wrote: “That’s where the championship badge will be, next season.”
Trippier appeared to be pointing at Newcastle shirt sleeve sponsor – online travel agency Kayak.
