A real revelation for the English Espoirs selection during his final crowning at the European Championship in their category this summer, goalkeeper James Trafford will discover the Premier League, but not with Manchester City, his training club. Indeed, he has just signed with the promoted Burnley for the next four seasons. His transfer is estimated at more than 17 million euros. A great reward for one of the best goalkeepers in League One (3rd level across the Channel), in which he played under the colors of Bolton (45 matches, 34 goals conceded and 22 clean sheets 2nd defense of the championship).
“I’m very happy to be officially a Burnley player, I couldn’t wait for everything to happen during the Euros, I knew a lot about it and I was waiting to come back to make everything official”, said the principal concerned in the press release. His new coach, Vincent Kompany, was delighted with his arrival at the Clarets: “James is a mature, very impressive and confident young man. Most people have seen what he has achieved in his career so far and his level of talent. We look forward to developing it even further. Make it even better. He has already done a lot and what interests us is to see how far he can go.
