Newcastle's Chief Scout Mitchell Observes Burnley Goalkeeper Trafford

The Burnley goalkeeper has been outstanding in the opening matches of the Championship. According to reports from The Mail, Mitchell was present at the stadium to witness Burnley's unfortunate 1-0 defeat to Sunderland over the weekend.

Newcastle had put in a bid of £16 million for the 21-year-old in June, but it was turned down.

Now they may be set to go back in for the shot stopper, given Burnley may want to sell for financial reasons.

However, the Clarets are not in the mood to sell on the cheap, as they do value Trafford a great deal.

They have slapped a price tag of at least £20 million, along with other performance related add-ons.
