Newcastle very close to the signing of 30 million pounds sterling star

An extremely busy transfer window is planned in Newcastle United, even if it has been very quiet so far.

There are two seasons, when they qualified for the first time for the Champions League under Eddie Howe, the Magpies really had a hard time balanced national and continental commitments, ending the bottom of a nightmare group, of course, while not being able to qualify for Europe via the Premier League.

A year later, now in the UEFA high level tournament, Howe will require reinforcements, needing a larger team to compete on several fronts, so new signatures could arrive on Tyneside this week?

Newcastle signatures search

As has been widely reported, Newcastle looks at the Panel Posed Anthony Elaga from Nottingham Forest for 55 million pounds Sterling, confident that an agreement will be finalized soon.

Meanwhile, the Magpies are interested in signing the central defender of the Atalanta, Giorgio Scalvini, who was described as “their higher target”, with the young age of 21 worth 30 million pounds sterling by the DEA.

In addition to all this, a report by Dominic Scurr of the Shields Gazette now declares that Newcastle is “very close” to conclude an agreement with Burnley to sign the goalkeeper James Trafford.

They add that a disagreement on costs has led to “complications”, but since the player is “ very passionate ” to move to Tyneside, an agreement should be finalized, costing around 30 million pounds sterling, making the most expensive English goalkeeper of all time.

Given the expenses, Trafford surely moves to Newcastle to be number one, usurping another former man of Burnley Nick Pope in the hierarchical order, while the Magpies are certainly well supplied with regard to goalkeepers, considering that Martin Dúbravka, Odysseas Vlachodimos, John Ruddy and Mark Gillespie are already in their books.

How James Trafford will improve Newcastle

The 22-year-old is certainly a highly classified player, his current manager Scott Parker describing Trafford as “a world-class goalkeeper”, after the 2-1 victory of Clarets with Vicarage Road against Watford in April.

Meanwhile, Andy Jones of athletics label him an “ almost impenetrable brick wall ”, praising his ability to anticipate the danger and neutralize threats ”, while noting that “Trafford has high ambitions”, namely to become the number one of England.

Mark Carey of athletics described his performances for Burnley in the EFL championship last season as “Insane”, then assess if the statistics support this assertion.

While the table describes it, Trafford was certainly the most impressive goalkeeper in the championship last season, with its count of 29 clean leaves that the greatest number of all the teams had in a single season of the football league, exceeding the previous record set by Port Vale in 1953/54.

So why will he be such a exciting addition to Newcastle and for the potential, the future teamvanca team?

Well, Jacek Kulig of Talent of Football Talent labeling the Italian “one of the most talented central defenders aged 21 or less in Europe, while Khilesh Ashok of the total football analysis praises the” ball “of Scalvini, as well as his prowess of winning physical battles”, “Perfect.

In possession, Trafford is a clear upgrade of the man he replaces the pope, while Scalvini can help to mitigate the weaknesses of the young goalkeeper, namely that he can be intimidated during sets and with regard to high complaints, so why the duo could form a formidable defensive partnership.
