James Trafford completes medical ahead of Manchester City exit Leeds United and Manchester City are now putting the finishing touches on a deal for James Trafford. The England international goalkeeper has completed a medical at Elland Road across the course of the week. The deal is expected to be worth a guaranteed £40 million plus add-ons. Leeds United have completed the medical procedures concerning James Trafford ahead of finalising a transfer for the Manchester City goalkeeper. The Etihad Stadium’s back-up goalkeeper endured a mixture of emotions during his first, and perhaps only, season at Manchester City have signed under Pep Guardiola last summer owing to a buy-back clause in his Burnley agreement .
