Manchester City James Trafford Burnley Newcastle
  • Manchester City are set to re-sign goalkeeper James Trafford for £27m, two years after his departure to Burnley.

  • The 22-year-old will sign a five-year contract and is expected to serve as cover for Ederson, which may lead to the departure of Stefan Ortega.
  • Trafford equalled the record for most clean sheets in an English league season last year, keeping 29 for Burnley during their promotion-winning campaign.
  • His return represents another transfer market setback for Newcastle, while City's summer spending will reach approximately £140m.
