Burnley in transfer tussle with Premier League rivals Sunderland to sign Wolves ace Johnstone
BURNLEY want Sam Johnstone to replace James Trafford - and plan to beat Sunderland to get him. Wolves would let the keeper, 32, go on loan or sell him for £8million. 2 Johnstone knows chances are limited at Molineux with Jose Sa their undisputed No 1. Burnley signed stopper Max Weiss, 21, from German second tier side Karlsruher last month. But should Johnstone sign for the Clarets, he can expect to be above him in the pecking order. Burnley need a new No.1 as Trafford is on his way back to Manchester City for £27m. He came through the ranks at the Etihad before moving to Turf Moor in 2023 in a £19m deal. Trafford, who is set to undergo a medical in the coming days, will reportedly battle Ederson to be first choice at City this season. Current back-up Stefan Ortega has been tipped to leave. Meanwhile, Sunderland are also chasing £12m-rated keeper Dmytro Riznyk from Shakhtar Donetsk as an alternative to Johnstone. 2 Johnstone made just seven Premier League appearances for Wolves last season. The experienced keeper was on the books of Manchester United as a teenager and has gone on to play for the likes of Aston Villa, West Brom and Crystal Palace.

Newcastle braced for Liverpool offer for Alexander Isak as Bayern Munich's Luis Diaz breakthrough paves way for fresh approach - with Eddie Howe making telling admission on star striker's future
Newcastle are braced for a formal offer from Liverpool for Alexander Isak this week after Eddie Howe revealed there is no chance of their want-away striker joining the squad here in the Far East. The 25-year-old is on Tyneside after ruling himself out of the club's pre-season tour with a thigh injury. Subsequent scans were thought to be clear but he will remain at home. Isak wants to join Liverpool and, with the Premier League champions set to bank £65million from the sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, an official approach is now expected. That will leave Newcastle's owners with a decision to make, as Howe admitted this weekend. They must choose between negotiating and extracting maximum value for the player, or refuse all offers and tell Isak he is staying. Even within the camp here in Singapore, opinion is split as to which approach is best for the club. The message from above remains that they want to keep their best players, but Isak making it clear he wants to go could force the owners into making a business decision, especially if Liverpool's offer approaches £150million. After confirming to Mail Sport that Isak will not be joining the team in South Korea during the next seven days, Howe addressed the issue of his players being distracted by the situation. 'It's business as usual for the players,' said the Newcastle boss. 'Naturally we're going to miss a player of Alex's quality and the group are going to feel that. 'There's no denying that. I can't sit here and claim that they won't. But they're a very a professional group of players and they're doing brilliantly as far as I can see in terms of managing the situation.' Newcastle remain in talks for Brentford's Yoane Wissa, while RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson are also on the shortlist. Howe, speaking after Sunday's 3-2 defeat by Arsenal, added: 'We're not deluded. 'We know we need to bring players in. We've known that for a long time. We did a lot of work (at the end of last season), we knew what we wanted. But it's been a challenging transfer window. Let's see what we can do.'
