Newcastle chief Nickson checking on Burnley keeper Trafford

Newcastle United have sent out head of recruitment Steve Nickson to scout for them. 

The Magpies are circling Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.

Trafford, who used to play for Manchester City had some challenges adapting to Burnley last season. 

But, he has been exceptional in the Championship, and could transfer in the summer. According to The Mail, Newcastle will wait until the end of the term to make their move. 

With Martin Dubravaka likely to leave the club then, Trafford could be his replacement.
