Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford closes in on a move to

Burnley.

Burnely are reportedly “in advanced talks” with Manchester City over a £19million deal for Leicester City-linked James

Trafford.

The shot-stopper has impressed for England’s under-21 side during the current European Championships. He has played

every minute of the tournament so far for the Young Lions and is yet to concede a goal.

Trafford spent last season on-loan at League One side Bolton and new Foxes boss Enzo Maresca is said to have been keen on

bringing him the King Power Stadium this summer.

But Sky Sports News report that last season’s Championship champions Burnley are set to seal a deal for the 20-year-old

keeper. They claim that the deal could be worth up to £19m, with an initial payment of £15m plus £4m in add-ons.

It is also claimed that the deal will also include a 20 per cent profit sell-on clause, a buy-back clause and a matching offer

clause.

Zack Steffen, another goalkeeper for Man City, has been linked to Leicester, but the USA international shot off the rumors. I

haven’t heard from my agency, but all of my pals have told me about this Leicester [story],” he claimed.

So I’m just concentrating on getting well and strengthening my foundation, and I’ll let the Lord work out the rest.

Prior to Maresca’s first season as manager at the East Midlands club, the Foxes have so far signed midfielder Harry Winks

from Tottenham and center defender Conor Coady from Wolves.

Latest Jack Clarke transfer news: Burnley bid, Brentford plotting and Sunderland’s stance

Here, is the latest news on Sunderland winger Jack Clarke following interest coming from the likes of Burnley and

Brentford.

The 22-year-old winger was handed a fourth Championship opportunity last time out, after spells with the likes

of Leeds United, QPR and Stoke City, where he was unable to fully display the talent he evidently possesses.

Proving to be a scorer of goals and a creator of chances during Sunderland’s return to the second tier, Clarke

netted nine league goals and provided a further 12 assists, adding two goals and two assists in cup competitions

and the play-offs.

A player with fantastic ability in the here and now and an incredibly high ceiling, Sunderland are currently

battling to retain his services in what the Black Cats will be hoping is another crack at Championship promotion.

What is the latest news on Sunderland winger Jack Clarke?

Burnley lodge bids for the Sunderland attacker

Returning to the Premier League, Burnley were able to gain clearer access into the ability of certain

Championship players last time out and Clarke has emerged as one of the individuals that seemingly features

high up on their priority list.

The Clarets have lodged bids for the exciting winger who managed 21 goal cobntributions in the second tier last

time out, and according to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie, the latest fee submitted by the top-flight returnees

is around the £9 million fee.

It would appear that the Clarets are fairly well-funded during this summer transfer window and it will be

interesting to see how this situation plays out.

Further Premier League interest in Jack Clarke

Burnley are not the only club who hold an interest in the exciting Sunderland winger and that adds a layer of complication to

this whole situation.

Even after revelations of the bids that Burnley have placed in the 22-year-old, a report from the Daily Mail has claimed that

long-term admirers Brentford continue to have Clarke in their sights.

A separate report from the Daily Mail has suggested that another London-based top-flight outfit in Crystal Palace are also

interested in the former Leeds United man, who are preparing for potential life without Wilfred Zaha, although Arnaut

Danjuma and Demarai Gray are also being considered.

Despite all this, it is still being portrayed that it is Burnley who hold the strongest interest in the exciting wide man.

Sunderland’s stance on talented winger Jack Clarke

Sunderland sporting director Kristjaan Speakman has reiterated the club’s stance that they are not in need of selling players

this summer, whilst speaking to fans at a recent recent fixture release breakfast, as revealed in the Sunderland Echo.

He also stated that the priority this summer is assembling a squad that is able to compete for promotion and that would

likely involve keeping Clarke at The Stadium oif Light.

Likely to have a valuation that would tempt them into selling, it would be no real surprise if that figure is much higher than

the £9 million currently being proposed.
