James Trafford is on the verge of becoming a Leeds United player after successfully completing his medical ahead of a permanent transfer from Manchester City.
The 22-year-old England international is expected to join Leeds in a deal worth more than £40 million including add-ons, making him the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
