Newcastle closing in on generational signing as medical booked in for this week

According to sources who spoke with TEAMtalk, Newcastle hopes to finalize a significant signing this week as Eddie

Howe looks squarely to the future at St. James’ Park.

After a disappointing season, Newcastle is trying to bolster their depth in order to contend for a top four spot.

Since Tosin Adarabioyo decided to join Chelsea when they took advantage of the Magpies’ move, they had already

lost out on one target.

But as they are in early negotiations to sign Trafford from Burnley, they are getting close to adding a new

goalkeeper. A deal worth £15 million is already under consideration, and the stopper has agreed to personal terms.

Numerous European clubs have expressed interest in signing him, and even after Burnley was relegated, it was

always assumed he would depart the team in the summer.

In anticipation of finalizing the transaction in the next few days, Newcastle has also scheduled a medical

appointment for this week.

As negotiations between the two teams move forward, Newcastle is keen to acquire Trafford in order to compete

with Nick Pop for the number one spot in goalkeeping. The team needs a more dependable player because their

current top player has had trouble staying healthy.

Many teams are keeping an eye on Pope, and if Trafford knocks him off of the top rank the following season, his

circumstances may become evident.

According to Newcastle’s coaches, the highly respected 21-year-old Trafford will eventually surpass Jordan Pickford

as England’s best goalkeeper.

At Burnley, where they felt he would have been the goalie for many years to come if they had stayed in the Premier

League, he is also highly regarded.
