Burnley signs Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka

Burnley have signed experienced Slovakian goalkeeper Martin Dubravka from Newcastle United on a one-year deal to replace James Trafford, who moved to Manchester City for a British record fee. Dubravka, 36, spent seven and a half years at Newcastle, making 179 appearances and keeping 51 clean sheets, and was a key player during their recent Carabao Cup success. His arrival is part of a broader goalkeeping reshuffle, with Newcastle signing Aaron Ramsdale on loan after missing out on Trafford. Burnley, newly promoted to the Premier League after a strong Championship campaign, see Dubravka as a valuable addition to their squad, praised for his experience and quality. Dubravka expressed enthusiasm about joining Burnley, highlighting the club's culture and recent defensive achievements. His career path includes early years in Slovakia and stints in Denmark, the Czech Republic, and England, where he won Newcastle's Player of the Year award for the 2019-20 season.
