James Trafford declares what Leeds United can achieve in beaming verdict and why he signed for Whites

James Trafford believes his move to Leeds United can help fulfil his dreams and that the only way is up for Daniel Farke's Whites.

England-capped keeper Trafford has become United's new record signing in joining the club from Manchester City for £40m plus-add ons, one year on from re-joining first club City from Burnley for £27m.

Trafford, a former City youngster, was re-signed by the club having excelled for the Clarets and the England-capped leeper looked set to become City's new no 1 until the Manchester outfit also signed Gianluigi Donnarumma who became first choice.

Donnarumma's arrival led to Trafford playing just four Premier League games but the 23-year-old was City's Cup keeper in an FA Cup and Carabao Cup double.

Trafford, though, says his move to Leeds now provides him with the best chance to fulfil his footballing dreams, the new Whites no 1 giving a glowing verdict of his first week at the club and declaring that Leeds can achieve anything they want to.

Speaking to the media at Thorp Arch on Friday, Trafford was asked why Leeds for him and said: "I just think it's the best move for me at this stage in my career and for all the dreams and things that I want to achieve.

"I think this is the thing that puts me the best stead for me to achieve all them dreams and I can't wait."

Asked what the team can achieve, Trafford declared: "I feel we can achieve anything we want to achieve.

"From the week I've had so far, we are always trying to get better, we're always trying to improve and when you think like that you're only going one way and that's upwards rather than downwards so it's a really exciting time.

"It's obviously really, really exciting to be here and to be working towards the season.

"It's just really exciting to give the season a really, really good go and achieve everything that we want to achieve."
