James Trafford, Newcastle United, Manchester City, Eddie Howe
13 June 2026
Newcastle United have revived their interest in Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford as Eddie Howe looks to reshape his goalkeeping department. Trafford is reportedly open to reviewing his future after limited game time at City.
Newcastle missed out on Trafford last summer and have now re-established contact as they assess senior options. His decision may wait until after international duty, with Manchester City’s goalkeeping depth affecting his pathway and first-team prospects.
