Tottenham Hotspur are ready to offer an escape route for out-of-favour Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford.<\/b><\/p>\n
Thomas Frank wants to bring in a rival for Vicario after recent struggles, with Trafford looking to bolster his chances of making Thomas Tuchel\u2019s England World Cup squad.<\/span><\/p>\n Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on out-of-favour Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n Ever since Gianluigi Donnarumma\u2019s arrival at the Etihad in the summer, Trafford has played second fiddle to the Italian number one, limited to mainly Cup appearances since.<\/span><\/p>\n Trafford has played just three Premier League games, one Champions League fixture and two League Cup games for City this season, with Donnarumma clearly Pep Guardiola\u2019s preferred choice between the sticks.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite Donnarumma close to an <\/span>unwanted Premier League record<\/span><\/a>, he is seen as the better goalkeeper of the two, hence why Trafford\u2019s minutes on the pitch have been very limited so far this season.<\/span><\/p>\n With the 23-year-old England hopeful second choice at the eight-time Premier League champions, a move away from the Etihad in January is a must if Trafford is to make it into Thomas Tuchel\u2019s Three Lions World Cup squad in the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n With that in mind, Tottenham are ready to offer Trafford an escape route, with a January switch to north London very much on the cards. It\u2019s a move that makes sense for both Trafford and Tottenham, with both parties in need of a change.<\/span><\/p>\n Newcastle United have previously expressed their interest in securing the services of Trafford, but that move is now dead in the water with Aaron Ramsdale performing well on loan and Nick Pope also a favourite of Eddie Howe\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n A move to Tottenham could turn Trafford\u2019s season around totally, with his hopes of making it to the 2026 World Cup with England potentially back on track.<\/span><\/p>\n \ud835\ude3d\ud835\ude4d\ud835\ude40\ud835\ude3c\ud835\ude46\ud835\ude44\ud835\ude49\ud835\ude42: James Trafford wants to LEAVE #ManCity<\/a> in January! \ud83d\udea8\u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n Trafford was told he was joining as first choice keeper and talks in the summer centred on the move providing an opportunity to claim the England number one spot from Jordan Pickford! \u2757\ufe0f<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcf0 @Jack_Gaughan<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/QfoqJcl622<\/a><\/p>\n — City Report (@cityreport_) December 1, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTottenham Keeping Tabs On James Trafford<\/h2>\n
