James Trafford Transfer from Manchester City to Aston Villa
Aston Villa may no longer be the leading contenders to sign Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford this summer, as Tottenham are reportedly accelerating their plans to sign the English goalkeeper. Villa had at one point seemed to be Trafford’s preferred choice due to their standing in the competition for Champions League qualification, but that now seems increasingly doubtful following a sequence of only one victory in five Premier League matches. Trafford is regarded as a possible long-term successor to Emiliano Martinez at Villa Park.
