Manchester City on brink of completing £27m move set to break a British record

Burnley's James Trafford completes a move back to Manchester City for a first £ 27 million.

The 22-year-old had been praised by Newcastle United for more than a year, but has opted for a return to the Etihad Stadium, where he came through the club's academy.

City sold Trafford to Burnley for a first £ 14 million two years ago and placed matching rights on the deal.

As soon as Newcastle last week an offer for the International Under-21 International under 21, City had to quickly decide whether they would do their move-despite that neither Ederson nor Stefan Ortega left this summer so far.

The Trafford switch must be completed in particular and he is expected to offer Edererson competition during the last year of the Brazilian contract.

Trafford gave only 16 goals when Burnley brought the promotion back to the Premier League in previous term, with an amazing 30 championship of clean sheets.

That was the same as a 71-year EFL record, determined by Port Vale, and Thomas Tuchel then called him to the Senior Ploeg of England.

If add-ons are activated, the transfer of Trafford to the north of £ 30 million will end.

It will distinguish the British record for a keeper when Jordan Pickford came to Everton.
