The Premier League goalkeeper is attracting interest from the Reds

Ahead of the summer, Liverpool joined other Premier League clubs in the race to sign Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford in a bid to find a back-up for first-choice goalkeeper Alisson.

Trafford looks set to be a target for Liverpool ahead of the summer, according to Football Insider.

The 21-year-old, who left Manchester City for Burnley last summer, played in 28 Premier League games last season, conceding 62 goals and managing just two clean sheets.

Liverpool could be looking for a new goalkeeper in the summer, so they are keeping a close eye on Trafford.

The future of Liverpool’s second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is uncertain at the club.

While third-choice goalkeeper Adrian is set to leave the club this summer after his contract expires soon.

The Reds could be in the market to sign a new goalkeeper who can act as second choice for Alisson.

Among other positions that require new manager Arne Slot’s attention, the goalkeeper position may need to be addressed in the transfer window.
