Leeds United confirm James Trafford has joined from Manchester City for a club-record £40m plus add-ons. Trafford has signed a five-year contract and becomes Leeds' third permanent signing after Harry Wilson and Tarik Muharemović. Trafford is now the most expensive British goalkeeper in history.🧤

I’ve been saying for a while that Newcastle’s first choice goalkeeper target this summer would be James Trafford. But there is a lot to work through. He spent a long time last summer telling people he was signing for #nufc and it didn’t happen as Man City swooped in. Naturally there has to be caution. It is my understanding he has made positive noises again about wanting to play for Newcastle again recently. But it’s a difficult deal and will be expensive in terms of both fee and wages. I think he would be a great signing. So do Newcastle’s recruitment team but it’s a tricky one to pull off. Let’s see what happens.

🚨#ManchesterCity Manchester City’s £50M valuation for James Trafford has led Newcastle United to halt their pursuit. 📌 Newcastle are reluctant to meet City’s high demands to sign Trafford this summer.
