Newcastle is expected to be held this summer, and the goalkeeper is one of the posts on the agenda to contact the sports director Paul Mitchell. But their higher objective has now made requests that could cause problems.
Nick Pope had a slightly disappointing season, while Martin Dubravka safeguard could not take advantage of Eddie Howe’s eyes. As such, a new goalkeeper is sought after, the idea being that a young pistol would come to occupy the position for many years to come.
The most important target in Newcastle is James Trafford, whom they tried to sign last summer. They have retained their interest and a move is likely to be made at the next transfer window.
James Trafford requests a playing time in Newcastle
Trafford would be very eager to join Newcastle, but despite this, personal conditions would not be simple. This is because the chronicle (via Geordie Boot Boys) reported that the Burnley star said that he would have passed to St James’ Park if he is guaranteed to be the goalkeeper of the first choice of Howe.
Trafford is considered by many to be a future England N ° 1, and his performances for Burnley this season have surely justified a position of goalkeeper in the Premier League. He would occupy this position if he remained at Turf Moor, which is why it is understandable that this request was fixed.
The question of whether Newcastle accepts this request will probably depend on the sale of the Pope this summer. He has been linked to Leeds like Leeds in recent months, so there is every chance that he was leaving northeast at the end of the season. For the moment, it remains to be seen if Trafford is moving long awaited in St James’ Park.
