Newcastle ‘pushing’ to sign goalkeeper James Trafford from Burnley

According to The Times, the Magpies have identified the 22-year-old as a prime candidate to provide competition for current first-choice Pope. It has been suggested that Howe views Trafford not only as a backup but as a potential long-term successor to Pope.

Pope, 33, has been a stalwart for Newcastle since his arrival but has faced challenges with injuries that have limited his availability. Leeds United, recently promoted to the Premier League, have expressed interest in acquiring Pope to strengthen their squad. However, Howe remains keen on retaining the experienced goalkeeper, emphasising the need for depth and competition in the position.

Trafford's performances in the 2024–25 season have been nothing short of exceptional. Newcastle are reportedly preparing a bid in the range of £25–30 million for the goalkeeper. This approach also considers Newcastle's adherence to Profitability and Sustainability Rules, aiming to strengthen the squad without compromising financial stability.
