Mythbusting: James Trafford 🏴 Newcastle and Manchester City have been linked a lot with the English goalkeeper, but is he really up to their standards? GKs are always hard to judge. I think Trafford is quite gifted, but does has some things to work on...😅
James Trafford returns to Manchester City from Burnley as Pep begins reshaping his squad. With Ederson’s exit looming, the 22yo English GK could step in as the new No.1. A former City academy talent, Trafford will now aim to claim both club and England’s starting spot.
