Leeds United handed early James Trafford dilemma as question over priority emerges

Leeds United are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper this summer, and have been linked with James Trafford.

It was a fruitful campaign for the Whites on their return to the Premier League, but the challenge next season will be to progress even further.

With a year's experience in the bag for several of those who had never played in England before, that will certainly aid their ambitions, though recruitment will also play a crucial role.

Leeds have already been linked with a whole host of targets ahead of the summer window, with a new goalkeeper likely to be a priority.

Trafford is among the names to have been mooted for a move to Elland Road, but a deal would come with a huge decision.

How much would James Trafford cost Leeds?

Leeds will invest this summer, but to what extent remains unkown, with their financial position yet to be revealed

However, the expectation is that there will be atleast one big signing in the coming months, and the identity of that player will be determined by what the Whites see as their man priority.

Trafford could cost the Whites in the region of £45million, which, if so, would certainly be that marquee signing.

It would be a remarkably high fee to spend on a goalkeeper, but if that is to be the area of the squad labelled as the main priority, then it is difficult to rule it out.

With that said, Leeds are not the only side to have been credited with an interest in the former Burnley star, showcasing that a battle is likely to ensue.

What else do Leeds need this summer?

Aside from a new goalkeeper, Leeds also need to bolster their attacking options ahead of the Premier League campaign.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor have carried the attacking threat posed by the Whites, and they need someone to arrive this summer to reduce the pressure on them to score the goals.

Whether that be in the form of a new striker or wide player remains to be seen, but that is likely to be their other priority ahead of the summer transfer window.
