James Trafford’s first words after record Leeds United move | OneFootball

James Trafford has given his first comments since becoming Leeds United’s record signing, completing a £40m plus add-ons switch from Manchester City that also makes him the most expensive British goalkeeper. Leeds had prioritised a new no 1 ahead of their second season back in the Premier League.

“I don’t really care if I have a point to prove. I know my own abilities. I am really excited and just really happy that it is finally done.” He told LUTV.

A year after rejoining City for £27m from Burnley, the 23-year-old had seemed set to become their no 1 until the club also signed Gianluigi Donnarumma, who took the starting role. He made only four Premier League starts last season, serving as cup keeper as City won the FA Cup and League Cup double.

“That goes a really long way because of the energy of the team, the players and the fans contribute to results and performances and improving them.” “It is just a great place for anyone, let alone myself, to play.”

“I can get onto preparing for the new season and can focus on getting in with everyone next week.”
