Leeds United Eye Big-Name Goalkeeper Upgrade
Leeds United are reportedly turning their attention to Manchester City's James Trafford as they look to fortify their squad for life back in the Premier League, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.
Having secured promotion, Daniel Farke's side are said to be moving beyond feel-good signings and targeting players capable of making an immediate top-flight impact. Trafford, who spent last season on loan at Burnley and impressed during their own promotion campaign, is understood to fit that profile perfectly.
The 22-year-old goalkeeper has struggled for regular football at City since returning from previous loan spells, and a permanent move to Elland Road could offer him the consistent first-team role he craves. For Leeds, landing an England-capped keeper with Premier League pedigree would represent a genuine statement of intent.
Nothing is yet confirmed, but Ornstein's report suggests talks or interest are advancing. Should the deal progress, it would mark one of the more significant additions of Leeds' summer rebuild as they prepare to compete in the top flight once again.
