James Trafford
December 2025
Goalkeeper James Trafford is reportedly seeking a move away from Manchester City just months after rejoining, frustrated by a lack of minutes despite starring for Burnley last season, when he helped the Clarets win promotion with a record-equalling 30 clean sheets and miserly defence. City activated a matching clause to beat Newcastle to his signature after Burnley’s promotion, but the former England Under-21 keeper has since struggled to play, fuelling doubts over his future and prompting interest from clubs still searching for a reliable long-term number one.
