He&#8217;s fully embraced everything we asked him to do. He&#8217;s in the youth game. He&#8217;s really invested in helping people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s using his experience in some way.

They believe Radi can help the young goalkeeper settle into life at the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It will be interesting to see if you can secure an agreement with an experienced goalkeeper. Newcastle is currently offering contract talks with goalkeepers, and it is still unclear whether all parties will be able to secure an agreement.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"James_Trafford_is_a_quality_addition\"><\/span>James Trafford is a quality addition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/burnley-fc-v-millwall-fc-sky-bet-championship-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/burnley-fc-v-millwall-fc-sky-bet-championship-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/burnley-fc-v-millwall-fc-sky-bet-championship-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/burnley-fc-v-millwall-fc-sky-bet-championship-770x514.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/burnley-fc-v-millwall-fc-sky-bet-championship-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/burnley-fc-v-millwall-fc-sky-bet-championship-1200x800.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/burnley-fc-v-millwall-fc-sky-bet-championship.jpg.webp 1522w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Trafford to Newcastle United?
