'Very brave' Weiss excited about Premier League footballpublished at 16:37 26 June

New Burnley goalkeeper Max Weiss is ready to stake his claim for the number one spot as the future of current incumbent James Trafford remains uncertain.
The 21-year-old joined from Karlsruher on a four-year deal earlier this week for a reported fee of five million euros, external (£4.3m).
He played every league game for the Bundesliga.2 side last season, helping them finish eighth, and has represented Germany from under-18 level through to the under-20s.
Speaking to the club's website Weiss said: "I think I'm a very brave goalkeeper and I try to give everything I have on the pitch so they can expect every time one hundred per cent and that I go into every ball that flies near to me."
He said Burnley's defensive record last season - 16 goals and 30 clean sheets in the Championship - was "amazing" and that he is looking forward to joining the goalkeeping department.
He said: "It's really exciting. I can learn from everybody. I think we will have good chemistry.
"It was a dream for me to play in England and in the Premier League so it's a dream come true."
Trafford has been strongly linked with Newcastle United for some weeks but for now Weiss joins him as one of four goalkeepers at Turf Moor, the others being Vaclav Hladky and Etienne Green.
