Burnley close to completing £19m move for Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford

Burnley are on the verge of sealing a £19million move for Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford.

A breakout star of England Under 21s' run to the European Championship semi finals, Trafford has caught the attention of a host of clubs this summer.

The Clarets, whose current No 1 is former City stopper Aro Muric, are working on a deal that starts at £15m and could rise by a further £4m.

Mail Sport understands a 20 per cent sell-on clause is likely to be added into the transfer should the two clubs come to a formal agreement.

Trafford has kept four consecutive clean sheets for the Under 21s out in Georgia and was being watched by Leicester City.

Vincent Kompany has stolen a march on the competition, however, as he plans for Burnley's return to the Premier League.

Trafford spent last season on loan at League One Bolton Wanderers as they made the playoffs and recently claimed that he feels ready to play on the biggest stage.
