James Trafford spent his younger years rounding up sheep and playing outfield in Carlisle United's academy. Now he has eyes on the Manchester City number one spot. The keeper will return to the Etihad two years after departing for Burnley with Pep Guardiola's side paying £27million to bring him back.

Scott Parker has suggested Burnley will look to replace James Trafford should the in-demand goalkeeper complete his move away from the club.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Man City have agreed a deal with Burnley to re-sign Trafford for a fee under the value of his £40m buy-back clause that was inserted when he move to Turf Moor two years ago.
