The exact reason James Trafford wants Leeds switch after Enzo Maresca decision
Leeds United are seeking to benefit from James Trafford's situation at Manchester City.
The England international returned to the Etihad Stadium last summer to become their number one.
The 23-year-old started out in between the sticks for the Citizens before ultimately being benched.
That saw him play second fiddle to Gianluigi Donnarumma throughout the campaign.
It appears that Trafford has now run out of patience and hasn't seen any change with Enzo Maresca coming in.
What did Enzo Maresca do to James Trafford?
The ex-Chelsea boss has been installed as the man to replace Pep Guardiola.
Having previously worked with the Sky Blues, it always felt as if it was a likely appointment.
There were questions swirling around the Etihad as to how the Italian could change things, but it doesn't appear that stretches as far as Trafford.
Leeds Live reported on Saturday that the keeper hasn't been told that his game time will increase under Maresca.
Instead, Donnarumma will remain as the number one choice, prompting the Englishman to seek a summer exit.
That is especially the case as the keeper dreams of replacing Jordan Pickford as England number one.
A move to Leeds could afford him the opportunity to do exactly that as they are prepared to give him the regular minutes he craves.
Leeds United to benefit from Man City's Trafford mistake
The Citizens clearly brought the keeper back with the idea of him being their long-term number one.
That hasn't panned out and now he wants to leave to take up that role elsewhere.
MOT Leeds News has covered that Trafford wants a move to Elland Road to become Daniel Farke's new number one.
A move for the shot-stopper would prove to be a real coup for the Whites, especially with the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa sniffing around him previously.
That will see Leeds benefit from where City went wrong as they could land themselves a true future star this summer.
Maresca had the chance to come in and right Guardiola's wrongs, but he's only made the situation worse, it seems.
