Newcastle to sign Burnley goalkeeper Trafford, who has conceded only 9 goals this Championship season

Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford is having a phenomenal season in the Championship, and a move to a higher level awaits him this summer.

Details: According to the Daily Mail, regardless of whether Burnley secures promotion back to the Premier League, Trafford will join Newcastle.

The Magpies are concerned about Nick Pope’s increasing injury troubles and are looking to bring in a reliable alternative. The club has set its sights on Trafford.

The 22-year-old goalkeeper has kept 11 consecutive clean sheets in the Championship, setting a league record. Over the entire season, he has conceded just 9 goals.

Reminder: Yesterday, Newcastle officially extended the contract of Martin Dúbravka, who serves as Nick Pope’s backup.
