Leeds United supporters are convinced that the arrival of goalkeeper James Trafford could be imminent after noting private jet activity that appears linked to the Manchester City player.
Radar data indicated a private aircraft heading directly toward Leeds Bradford Airport, sparking speculation among the fanbase.
Observers noted that the plane’s registration matched the one used in a previous transfer, suggesting a possible connection to the club’s current pursuit.
Leeds has been in advanced negotiations with Manchester City over the 23‑year‑old England international.
The transfer race has intensified as rivals Newcastle United and Aston Villa also express interest in the goalkeeper.
The move would replace the positions left vacant by the departures of Illan Meslier to Arsenal and Karl Darlow to Manchester United.
Trafford appeared in 17 matches for Manchester City last season, recording eight clean sheets after returning from a loan spell.
A completed agreement would rank among the most significant signings for Leeds this summer.
The new goalkeeper would solidify a crucial role in Daniel Farke’s squad heading into the upcoming season.
Final confirmation will depend on a full agreement between the clubs, leaving the transfer still pending.
