Recent reports have linked out-of-favour Manchester City<\/a> goalkeeper James Trafford with Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 23-year-old has publicly spoken about how his season has not exactly gone to plan. The Citizens signed him back from Burnley<\/a> to be the first-choice goalkeeper, but when Gianluigi Donnarumma became available, they wasted no time bringing in the former Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> shot-stopper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, however, Trafford could be set to replace an Italian goalkeeper himself. Multiple reports have linked him to Spurs, who seem to be unhappy with Guglielmo Vicario. As it turns out, all signs indicate that it would be a good move both for Trafford and Tottenham.<\/p>\n\n\n
