The Turf Moor shot-stopper has enjoyed a record-breaking year, keeping a whopping 29 clean sheets and conceding just 15 goals so far this season.

The Clarets' promotion was confirmed at the weekend, meaning they will once again be playing Premier League football next term. Meanwhile, Newcastle pursued Trafford last summer but a move failed to materialise amid £20m talks.

That interest hasn't gone away with a renewed attempt to lure the keeper (right) to St James' Park highly possible in the coming months.
