Leeds United Closing in on James Trafford Signing

TalkSPORT's journalist Alex Crook has revealed that Leeds United is close to finalizing the signing of goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City during the current transfer window.

The report confirmed that Trafford has informed the relevant parties of his desire to join Leeds, while negotiations are ongoing at a rapid pace between the club and the parties associated with the player, discussing the possibility of including a release clause in the new contract.

The source indicated that Newcastle United has not conducted any recent negotiations with Trafford and has not made any official offer to sign him, clarifying that the last discussions between the two parties date back to an earlier period when the goalkeeper's name was mentioned as an option during Manchester City's negotiations regarding Sandro Tonali.

James Trafford is considered one of the promising English goalkeepers, having stood out at Burnley and previously representing the England U21 team, which has made him a target for several Premier League clubs.
