Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford He is said to 'love' Newcastle United to bring him back in the transfer market.
This is according to Ben Jacobs while speaking to NUFC Matters, as quoted by him TBR Footballwith the journalist also explaining that the talented 22-year-old could now realistically be available for just £12-15m.
Newcastle leads the race against Manchester United for a star worth £30 million!
This seems a very good price for a player of Trafford's quality, with the England Under-21 international certainly looking too good to be playing in the Championship for much longer.
Newcastle have had an interest in Trafford in the pastAnd Jacobs seems certain the player would still welcome another approach from the Magpies.
Ben Jacobs says James Trafford wants Newcastle transfer approach
“We know that James Trafford has a more tangible history. Newcastle negotiated, lobbied and made an offer,” Jacobs said.
He added: “The player would like Newcastle to make another formal approach. The feeling is that Trafford could be available for £12-15m and Newcastle may be able to achieve that. So Trafford could be one to watch.”
Newcastle currently have Nick Pope as their first-choice keeper, so it's not clear whether they're in dire need of a new 'keeper', but it looks like this could be one to watch.
NUFC will want to continue to build and improve this team, and that means there should always be room for improvement in every position.
Trafford looks like a player with a big future, and one imagines he could end up being better than Pope at some stage, even if that is a cruel decision on Newcastle's part.
