Manager Vincent Kompany’s Statement: “We’ve signed an extremely talented young man. More than just a talent, he’s a great character. James is a very impressive, confident, and mature young man. Most people have seen what he’s achieved in his career so far and his level of talent.

“We’re looking forward to developing that even further. Making him even better. He’s done so much already, and what excites us is how far he can go.”

James Trafford was England’s hero during the Under-21 European Championships; he conceded just one goal during the competition.

Trafford will join Burnley for an undisclosed transfer fee, but sources say the deal is worth £19 million for the young shot-stopper.
