"The 23-year-old has struggled for regular opportunities at the Premier League club, and he needs to play more often. Gianluigi Donnarumma is currently the first-choice goalkeeper at the club, and Trafford will need to leave if he wants to play every week. According to reports, Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa might be able to provide him with an exit route in the coming months."
"He's a quality keeper and I think there are a few clubs that are still unhappy in that position. But certainly those are the sort of the three clubs I think, yeah, Newcastle, Villa, Spurs are where I think Trafford may end up. Spurs could certainly use more depth in the goalkeeping department. Guglielmo Vicario has done well since joining the London club, but he can be quite inconsistent."
James Trafford, 23, has limited first-team opportunities at Manchester City and needs regular playing time. Gianluigi Donnarumma is the current first-choice at City, making a move necessary for Trafford to play weekly. Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa are reported as potential destinations. Tottenham could seek additional goalkeeping depth due to Guglielmo Vicario's inconsistency and aerial vulnerability. Aston Villa may require a replacement if Emiliano Martinez departs. Trafford excelled for Burnley in the Championship last season and is regarded as capable of Premier League success. Newcastle could view Trafford as a long-term option behind or replacing Nick Pope.
