Man City agree surprise £15million goalkeeper transfer with Premier League new boys

Burnley are closing in on the £15m capture of Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford.

The Premier League new boys, who are led by City legend Vincent Kompany, are looking to bolster their options after winning promotion. They are targeting the man who is currently first choice for England's U21s, putting in some stellar displays for the young Lions.

Trafford has come through the ranks at the Etihad but there is no pathway for him to become City's No 1 whilst the Clarets can offer him the chance to be a starter in the top flight. A deal is close according to reports with Burnley set to pay £15m up front and a potential £4m in add-ons.
