James Trafford 'to join' Leeds as update calms fan concerns | OneFootball

James Trafford is expected to become Leeds United’s third summer signing, with terms set at an initial £40m plus £5m in add-ons and a sell-on clause. The lack of an announcement has unsettled some supporters.

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the move remains very close and positive, though not yet complete, and major transfers can take time.

Leeds have prioritised a new goalkeeper after Karl Darlow and Illan Meslier departed, with Manchester United and Arsenal signing the pair on free transfers.

With Lucas Perri awaiting a loan-to-buy switch to Torino, Leeds are pushing to finalise Trafford after reportedly seeing off competition from Newcastle following his year back at Man City.

Even after Trafford arrives, Leeds will still need another goalkeeper to provide back-up.
