Leeds United have made their intentions clear this summer, confirming a club-record deal worth an initial £40m to sign England goalkeeper James Trafford, according to English Premier League Index.
The move represents a significant financial commitment from Elland Road, underlining the club's determination to strengthen a key position with a proven international shot-stopper. While specific contract details and the selling club have not been outlined in the report, the fee itself signals Leeds' ambition as they look to reshape their squad.
Trafford's arrival is set to have a major impact on the club's goalkeeping department, with the England international expected to become a central figure between the sticks moving forward. The size of the deal also marks a new benchmark for Leeds in the transfer market, according to the source.
Further details on the structure of the deal, including any add-ons, are yet to be confirmed. GoalPoles will provide updates as more information emerges from Elland Road.
