Leeds eye move for Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope as Magpies renew interest in Burnley's £30m-rated James Trafford

Leeds United are among the clubs keen on Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope.

The England international could leave if Newcastle are successful in their renewed pursuit of Burnley's £30m-rated James Trafford.

Trafford had agreed to join last August only for the deal not to happen, much to the surprise and disappointment of some of those involved - but the move is expected to be completed this summer.

The 22-year-old played a key role in Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League, keeping an impressive 29 clean sheets in 45 appearances.

Leeds are planning to strengthen their squad this summer following their return to the top flight, with the club keen to avoid another short-lived stay.
