Leeds United are reportedly leading the race to sign Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford on loan, with Newcastle United and Aston Villa also monitoring the situation. The 23-year-old is frustrated with his lack of playing time following the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Etihad.
Trafford, who still harbors ambitions of being England's number one goalkeeper, sees a move to Elland Road as an opportunity for regular Premier League football. Manchester City reportedly prefer a temporary loan arrangement rather than a permanent departure, as they still view the young keeper as part of their long-term goalkeeping plans.
