Leeds United has finalized the signing of goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City for £40 million, making him the most expensive British goalkeeper in history.

Aged 23, Trafford joined Manchester City’s academy in 2015 before being loaned to Bolton Wanderers and then Burnley, where he gained valuable first-team experience. Leeds secures a starting goalkeeper expected to anchor their defense for years to come, while City receives a record fee for a player who was unlikely to displace their current number one anytime soon.
