James Trafford warned over Leeds move as Begovic cites Aaron Ramsdale example | OneFootball

Asmir Begovic has cautioned James Trafford that a move to Leeds United could bring challenges if 2026/27 turns difficult, citing Aaron Ramsdale as a warning. Leeds are preparing for a second consecutive Premier League season.

The 23-year-old is close to a club-record £40million move to Elland Road, where he will be the undisputed No.1. He wants regular football after a year back at Manchester City, with a fresh four-year World Cup cycle in mind. "If you look at English goalkeepers, there’s not many young ones around of his calibre," he told Sky Sports.

"That brings a certain transfer fee. When you look at James Trafford, he made a brave move to Burnley, did well there and then Man City bought him back."

"You don’t say no to Man City, the financial rewards and everything else. It might not have been the best move for his career but he has to do it for many different reasons."

"But Leeds are a team that aren’t exactly established in the Premier League. They could have a season where it becomes difficult."

"I look at the likes of Aaron Ramsdale, there are players who get lost a little bit in the cycle. I hope it works out for him, I think it's a good move for Leeds and I wish him all the very best."
