What happened. James Trafford is close to a £40m move to Leeds United, which would make him one of the most expensive goalkeepers in history.

• Trafford made 17 appearances for Manchester City last season, only four in the Premier League.
• At Burnley in the Championship, he kept 29 clean sheets with an 84.47% save ratio.
• He was called 'world class' by former manager Scott Parker.

Regular game time at Leeds could boost his chances to replace Jordan Pickford as England's No.1.
