Newcastle prepared to move on from pursuit of Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford as Man City's interest in former stopper intensifies

Newcastle United are prepared to move on from their interest in Burnley’s James Trafford with a deal still not agreed

Although it is not dead yet, and a 12-month pursuit shows how much they admire the player, Mail Sport understands the club are also comfortable with their current goalkeeper situation.

It would not necessarily be a case of identifying another goalkeeper target if they fail to agree.

Over the past fortnight, Newcastle's confidence has been less positive than it once was.

Manchester City's interest, owing to their buy-back option, is also a complication, although Mail Sport understands that it has been in background all summer.
