Leeds, Newcastle, Villa eye Trafford loan

Leeds United, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa are all interested in a loan move for Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, who is frustrated with his lack of playing time.

Manchester City's James Trafford is attracting interest from multiple Premier League clubs with Leeds, Newcastle, and Villa all considering a loan move for the young goalkeeper. Trafford has expressed frustration at his limited first-team opportunities following the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The 23-year-old still harbors ambitions of becoming England's number 1 and sees regular Premier League football as essential for his development. Manchester City would prefer to loan Trafford out rather than sanction a permanent departure, still viewing him as part of their long-term goalkeeping structure.
