Newcastle United’s pursuit of James Trafford from Burnley is progressing well. Initially, Newcastle officials deemed Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili too expensive, making a move for the 21-year-old Trafford increasingly likely. Reports confirmed that Newcastle has made a £16 million offer for Trafford, whose move is also driven by Burnley’s financial needs.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has updated that Newcastle has agreed on personal terms with Trafford, with a new proposal around £15 million with performance-based add-ons expected soon. Trafford is eager to move to St James’ Park, although he is not immediately set to replace Nick Pope as the starting goalkeeper. This move signifies Newcastle’s long-term planning, with Trafford seen as a future first-choice goalkeeper.

Newcastle United are “very confident” about finalizing a deal to sign Lloyd Kelly this week, despite losing out on Tosin Adarabioyo to a late Chelsea offer, sources informed Football Insider. The north-east club has submitted an offer for the 25-year-old Kelly, with further negotiations expected throughout the week, aiming to complete the deal by Friday before his Bournemouth contract expires.
