The Athletic reporting Trafford has completed his medical and deal is close to being finalised. Finally.

Yep, doing his media duties at ER today (actually all done and he has gone home) . Announcement imminent.

Finally?

What has he missed exactly? A few shirt-sale friendlies. Now he will be rested and raring to go at the pointy start of the season. Hopefully he will be with us for ten years, making the 20% sell-on clause meaningless.



Brilliant signing. He has definitely upgraded our team to date. Four or five more of a similar ilk and we're pushing the best window to date.

Already an amazing window with more to come, hopefully.

Great to have a long term top keeper. Thrilled with all three so far. One more top striker, a few fillers, and I'm chuffed, Chappy.
