Newcastle received a number of set backs in this window after he missed Hugo Ekitike after his move to Liverpool and now confronted the chance of the chance of star striker Alexander Isak who leaves the club
Manchester City has again concluded Newcastle a transfer of transfer by agreeing a deal to sign Burnley keeper James Trafford, after the Magpies tried to break the English under-21 star of England.
Pep Guardiola's side corresponded to the range of £ 27 million to sign their former Academy for views and now he seems to go back to Etihad, according to the Athletic. Newcastle hoped to offer more competition on no 1 Nick Pope, but will now have to look somewhere else.
Trafford helped Burnley protect promotion to the Premier League under Scott Parker this season, but agreed a five -year -old deal with his Boyhood Club – two years after they left them to Turf Moor.
The report says that Trafford also has the option for another year, since the city protects a new Shot stopper in the midst of doubts about the current options Ederson and Stefan Ortega, who were both guilty of high-profile errors last season.
There were earlier reports that Or Nomouwon could be set for a switch to the Saudi Pro League, but now he probably seems to stay – which means that Trafford will fight with him and Ortega for the Nr. 1 Jersey.
It comes as a counter-back to Newcastle in the transfer market after they missed the signing of Hugo Ekitike after Liverpool had sealed the signature of the French striker for around £ 79 million.
The magpies are also confronted with the strong possibility that Star striker Alexander Isak left the club after he told the officials that he wanted to explore his options this summer.
The Swedish star scored an impressive 27 goals last season, which led to interest from a large number of top clubs throughout Europe – including Liverpool.
Newcastle is said to be at least £ 150 million for Isak and is not in a hurry to sell it, since he has left his contract for three years.
Howe has succeeded in getting a new wing player over the line after the arrival of Anthony Elanga from Forest for £ 55 million, but he will be desperate to ensure that Isak will remain in St James' park with a huge season on the horizon and the Champions League football to contend.
Isak did not become a member of Newcastle during their pre-season tour through Asia after his transfer bomb, while also providing a hamstring injury, but Howe remains convinced that he will play with the team the start of the season.
Speaking after he left Isak from Newcastle's defeat for Celtic last week, he said: “It is difficult for me to give 100% clarity to every player. Alex is happy at Newcastle, he loves the players, the staff, the team. I am convinced that he will be here at the start of the season.
“Yes, I have had discussions with him, but that is not abnormal. I respect the career of a player and how short it is. Alex has been really good, he is really well trained and I realize that there will be noise around him.”
