Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering signing Burnley star James Trafford, according to Talk SPORT.
The Lilywhites have been inconsistent so far this season, winning six of 12 games in the first division so far and losing five. In the last six games in all competitions, Ange Postecoglou's team has defeated city of manchester twice in two different competitions and beaten Villa Aston once.
But they lost to Galatasaray in the european league and were defeated by Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Manchester has been a happy place for Spurs this season, as after beating the red devils 3-0 earlier this season, they crushed Man City 4-0 in the league last weekend.
Guglielmo Vicario played with a broken ankle against the Citizens on Saturday and has now undergone surgery to recover from his problem. He is therefore now expected to remain sidelined for an extended period and Fraser Forster would now fill the Italian's void.
Trafford to Tottenham
Talk SPORT They report that Tottenham have started exploring options to sign a new goalkeeper in January to add depth in this position amid Vicario's absence with Trafford on their radar.
However, the report claims that the Burnley star is not the only option on the north London club's wish list, with Sunderland's Anthony Patterson also on Postecoglou's list.
After joining the Clarets last year, Trafford failed to help his team maintain their Premier League status. But he has made a promising start this season in the Championship as he has 81% savings which is really impressive.
The 22-year-old, who stands 6 feet 6 inches tall, is comfortable playing out from the back, which is a necessary attribute for any goalkeeper today.
He is a very talented player and has the potential to become a top-level goalkeeper in the future. Spurs like to strike these types of deals, so it will be interesting to see if the north London club finally make a concrete decision to sign him in the upcoming winter window.
The player is valued at around £15 million per Transfer market and he has a contract until 2027 with Burnley, so Tottenham will have to spend a considerable amount of money to complete the deal.
