Burnley’s summer transfer window is very much in full swing as the club continues to prepare for the new season.
The Clarets had a bit of a delay to their summer as their search for a new manager took longer than anticipated before leading them to Scott Parker. But the club is now making up for it and they have signed six new players for the upcoming campaign.
One of those additions is a goalkeeper in Vaclav Hladky, but even with that addition, Burnley are being linked with a move for another shot-stopper in the form of Mark Travers.
The Clarets have seen three goalkeepers leave the club over the course of this summer, with Arijanet Muric joining Ipswich Town, Bailey Peacock-Farrell going to Birmingham City, and Lawrence Vigouroux signing for Swansea City.
Burnley hold an interest in Mark Travers
It was reported by The Sun journalist Alan Nixon last weekend that Burnley have AFC Bournemouth goalkeeper under consideration this summer.
Nixon states that the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper is a consideration for the club should Burnley lose James Trafford in a deal that would be their fourth goalkeeping departure.
Trafford has been heavily linked with a move away in this transfer window, with teams such as Newcastle United keen on landing the young England shot-stopper.
Therefore, Nixon adds that if Trafford were to leave Turf Moor this summer, then Parker would eye a reunion with Travers, after the pair worked together at Bournemouth.
It is believed that Travers would likely come at a cut-price transfer, given that he has fallen down the pecking order with the Cherries. However, he has impressed with Bournemouth when playing, especially in the Championship, and that could make him a valuable asse
Trafford only joined Burnley last summer, and it was a mixed bag for the goalkeeper in his first campaign. He started the season as the club’s number one choice but lost his starting spot to Muric as the campaign came to a close.
It was the 21-year-old’s first taste of Premier League football, so there were expected to be ups and downs throughout the season.
