00:00Newcastle United and Leeds United are both monitoring the situation of James Trafford
00:06as the Manchester City goalkeeper considers his next move before the transfer window closes.
00:12The England international is attracting strong Premier League interest
00:17after spending last season as Pep Guardiola's backup keeper.
00:21Regular first-team football is now expected to be the key factor in his decision
00:27and it is believed that interest with Newcastle may already be calling.
00:32Newcastle have tracked Trafford for several transfer windows
00:35and remain keen to strengthen their goalkeeping department
00:39but their goalkeeping department is already very strong with Nick Pope.
00:44James Trafford could be sceptical of getting more first-team football.
00:49Eddie Howe is understood to be a long-term admirer of the 23-year-old keeper
00:54who established himself as one of England's brightest goalkeeping prospects
00:58but it's Leeds United who seem to be leading the race
01:01with Daniel Farker looking to recruit a new first-choice goalkeeper ahead of the new campaign.
01:07With Aston Villa also being linked to Trafford
01:09it's Leeds that seem to be pushing the hardest to secure his signature.
01:12Trafford is now expected to weigh up where he is most likely to play regular football
01:18with any decision likely to depend on guaranteed minutes
01:22rather than financial incentives
01:24as he looks to cement his place as the England number one as well.
