Third time lucky: Newcastle United hope latest round of talks can seal 'special' signing
Briefly

Newcastle United are preparing to renew negotiations for Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, with both clubs expected to reopen discussions next week. The 22-year-old shot-stopper has been praised by Burnley manager Scott Parker for conceding only 16 goals in the Championship last season. Manager Eddie Howe is ready to offer Trafford a long-term contract, but Burnley's valuation reportedly exceeds 30 million. Trafford is seen as a strong competitor for Nick Pope at Newcastle, and the club is confident in their pursuit after previous attempts to sign him failed.
