Burnley complete £19m deal for Man City goalkeeper James Trafford after his England Under-21 heroics

England Under-21 goalkeeper James Trafford's £19m move from Manchester City to Burnley has been completed, with an official announcement expected shortly.

Trafford spent last season on loan at League One side Bolton Wanderers, keeping 22 clean sheets in 45 appearances for the club.

He will now get his chance in the Premier League with Vincent Kompany's Clarets after they won the Championship to secure their return to the top flight.

Trafford pressed home his credentials during England's recent triumph at the European Under-21 Championship.

The 20-year-old did not concede a goal in the tournament, keeping six successive clean sheets to help Lee Carsley's men to glory.
