David Seaman x Jordan Pickford, James Trafford similarities drawn as £40m goalkeeper faces…

It is important to note that, while he has moved for huge sums of money and represented some sizable clubs, Trafford is only 24 years of age and has just 38 Premier League appearances to his name - with 28 of those [coming for a Burnley team](https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jj-watt-nfl-return-bet-danger-james-trafford-farming-burnley-goalkeeper-secrets-incredible-clean-sheet-record/bltb19c7137eac93885) that suffered relegation in 2023-24.

Kilgallon went on to say: “You need that experience. And now he's playing at Leeds United. It's not an easy place to play, Elland Road, every other week. He's young, he hasn't got loads of experience. And when he did play, half the time he was picking the ball out of the net, wasn't he, for Burnley? He had a bad back!

“I think he's going to get even better with more games. He's only played under 50 Premier League games and he's knocking on England's door and he's playing for Leeds United. With only them games, he's doing something right.

“He's catching the eye, isn't he, and doing something right in training. So I think he's got a massive future, I really do. I think it was £40 million they got him for. I think it'll be a snip in two years. I think it'll be a great signing.”
