Leeds United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa have all expressed interest in taking Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford on loan, as the 23‑year‑old seeks regular first‑team action. Trafford has voiced frustration after the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma, which has left him largely on the sidelines.
Manchester City, however, prefers a loan rather than a permanent exit, viewing the move as a way to secure minutes for Trafford while keeping him in their long‑term plans.
