Leeds United are in talks with Manchester City over a deal for goalkeeper James Trafford.
The England international is Leeds' primary goalkeeper target.
Newcastle and Aston Villa have also had an interest this summer in Trafford, but Leeds are understood to be the most advanced in their pursuit.
The 23-year-old played 17 times for City in 2025/26, following a move back to the Etihad from Burnley, keeping eight clean sheets.
He then travelled to the 2026 World Cup with England, but did not make an appearance for Thomas Tuchel's side.
Leeds have lost goalkeepers Karl Darlow and Illan Meslier this summer, with the pair joining Man Utd and Arsenal respectively.
They are understood to be hopeful about their chances of signing Trafford.
Finding a new first-choice goalkeeper is a priority for Leeds this summer after Darlow's exit and an unconvincing debut season for Lucas Perri.
Perri, who was dropped by Daniel Farke last season, and third-choice Alex Cairns are the only senior goalkeepers currently on Leeds' books.
There is the potential for Perri to depart this summer amid interest from Torino.
However, Leeds are unwilling to part with the Brazilian until they have brought in at least one goalkeeper.
