Leeds United, Manchester City and James Trafford
Thursday
Leeds United have completed the signing of England goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City for a fee that could reach £45m. The five-year deal makes Trafford Leeds’ record purchase and the most expensive British goalkeeper in history.
City are guaranteed £40m and retained a 20% sell-on clause plus matching rights on future offers. Trafford sought regular first-team football after Gianluigi Donnarumma limited him to four Premier League appearances during the previous season.
