James Trafford offers Leeds United first impressions as teammate ‘blown away’ by goalkeeper | OneFootball

James Trafford underlined the energy Daniel Farke demands at Leeds United two days into his Elland Road stay, the club-record £40m signing impressing on debut in Dublin.

"It's been brilliant. We're obviously an amazing team, and we play with a lot of energy. From my first day yesterday, I can see everything that we're trying to do and trying to achieve this season," said Trafford. He was speaking to ITV.

The goalkeeper joined team-mates on Tuesday, took part in a light activation before Wednesday’s friendly against Manchester United, then showcased crisp long passing and sharp anticipation across 45 minutes. He also tipped a low, rasping Bryan Mbeumo effort round the post.

"I wanted to play as much as I can even though my first day back in was yesterday. I just really enjoyed starting and getting those minutes, because I really enjoy playing football. So yeah, I was happy."

Noah Okafor praised Trafford’s mentality and said he will help the side a lot. Brenden Aaronson said: "In the training session yesterday, I was literally blown away by how much quality he has."
