How Leeds United could follow up James Trafford deal with quick-fire fourth signing
Leeds United won't be finished in the transfer window even if they sign James Trafford from Manchester City.
Daniel Farke looks set to get one of his key targets over the line in emphatic fashion.
The Whites have been in desperate need for a new keeper after the departure of Karl Darlow, who exited on a free contract.
A number of possible options emerged, but it appears England international Trafford will now be arriving in West Yorkshire.
The 23-year-old is seen as the future of the national team and could soon be applying his trade at Elland Road.
Leeds are accelerating towards a deal for Trafford, but could have another deal in mind.
When could Leeds United sign James Trafford?
It looks as if the Man City keeper is going to make a move to Yorkshire this summer.
As covered by MOT Leeds News, various reports have emerged suggesting that talks are well underway between Leeds and Trafford.
David Ornstein suggested on Thursday that Newcastle United are no longer in the race, leaving the LS11 outfit to work towards a deal.
That could see a deal be sealed sooner rather than later at Elland Road, while a move for Julian Brandt could be next.
How close are Leeds to signing Julian Brandt?
Sorting the goalkeeper position is important and could soon see Trafford be the third signing of the summer.
Tarik Muharemovic came in most recently, while Harry Wilson was the first on a free transfer after leaving Fulham.
The Welshman could soon be joined in attack by Brandt as he also remains without a club.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund man's representatives visited Thorp Arch last week, while Graham Smyth reported on Thursday that Leeds are hopeful that his decision will come soon.
"Leeds United still on with Julian Brandt pursuit and hopeful he'll make a decision soon," Smyth wrote as all the Trafford news was emerging.
Should he choose to join Leeds this summer, he could prove to be the fourth signing of the window and could join Trafford in LS11.
