James Trafford says Leeds move can fulfil dreams and aims for upward path | OneFootball

James Trafford says his switch to Leeds United can help him realise his ambitions, and he believes Daniel Farke’s side are heading upwards.

According to yorkshireevenpost.co.uk, the England-capped goalkeeper has joined from Manchester City for £40m plus add-ons to become United’s record signing, a year after City brought him back from Burnley for £27m.

City re-signed the 23-year-old after his impressive spell with the Clarets, and he appeared set to challenge for the gloves until Gianluigi Donnarumma arrived and became first choice. Trafford featured only four times in the Premier League, but he was the cup keeper in an FA Cup and Carabao Cup double.

Speaking to the media at Thorp Arch on Friday, Trafford said moving to Leeds is the best step at this stage of his career to chase the dreams he wants to achieve, adding that he cannot wait to get started.

On team aims, he said he feels Leeds can achieve whatever they set out to, highlighting a first week built on constant improvement that, in his view, points only upwards. He called it a really exciting time and is eager to give the season a proper go.
