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

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.

Toon chiefs have haggled over a deal throughout the window - allowing Manchester City the chance to push ahead in the queue. City have first dibs on Trafford - as well as a 20 per cent sell-on clause should he head elsewhere - due to a clause inserted two years ago.
