"Yeah, I think obviously, Trafford's not happy at the minute because he's playing second fiddle to Gianluigi Donnarumma. I think it's probably coming down to Trafford's ambition to be in that England squad for the World Cup, but if he's not playing, it's going to be hard to be in Thomas Tuchel's plans. That's probably why speculation over his future has intensified in recent weeks."
"Newcastle United are interested in a deal for Trafford, who is the number two goalkeeper at Man City behind Gianluigi Donnarumma. We know Newcastle are long-term admirers, Aston Villa have been mentioned as well with the ongoing uncertainty around Emiliano Martinez's future, Spurs have also been linked as well. But I just don't see City letting him go in January despite the player being unhappy and wanting to play. City won't to weaken their squad in January and leave themselves short in that goalkeeping department."
James Trafford is Manchester City's number two goalkeeper behind Gianluigi Donnarumma and has attracted transfer interest from Newcastle United. Trafford is reportedly unhappy with his backup role and desires regular playing time to boost his chances of making England's World Cup squad, which would be difficult if he does not play. Other clubs linked include Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur amid uncertainty over Emiliano Martinez. Manchester City are reluctant to sell in January because they do not want to weaken their squad or leave themselves short in goalkeeping depth. A January departure therefore appears unlikely despite player interest.
