Trafford had a successful season with Burnley, keeping 29 clean sheets and conceding only 16 goals in the Championship. This has made him a sought-after player, and Newcastle is now in talks to bring him to the club. According to reports, a deal for the England international could be finalized soon.

Meanwhile, Burnley is also preparing for a change in goalkeeping personnel. The club has reportedly agreed a £4.2 million deal with Karlsruher SC for 21-year-old goalkeeper Max Weiss. This suggests that the club expects James Trafford to leave the team. Newcastle's manager, Eddie Howe, is looking to bring in some young talent to replace their current goalkeeper, Nick Pope.

It is likely that several goalkeepers, including Martin Dubravka, Odysseas Vlachodimos, and John Ruddy, will depart from Newcastle as the club undergoes a significant clearout. This will give Howe the opportunity to rebuild his squad and bring in new players to support Pope in goal.
