Leeds Advance Talks for Man City's James Trafford

Leeds United have stepped up their pursuit of Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford and are now leading the race for his signature. Sources indicate that while Trafford was dangled as a potential option for Newcastle back in June, the Magpies quickly pivoted to other targets and were never seriously in the mix this summer. The Whites are making progress in direct talks, though a deal is still in the negotiation phase.
