Comparing James Trafford’s wages with the rest of Leeds United’s squad
James Trafford has become Leeds United‘s record signing, but how do his wages compare to those of his new colleagues?
Trafford has joined from Manchester City for a fee of up to £45million, a coup considering that many observers view the 23-year-old as England’s next first-choice goalkeeper.
There was a delay getting the deal over the line, with Trafford going on holiday after the World Cup, but Leeds fans had no need to start panicking.
talkSPORT have reported that Trafford will earn wages of £170,000 per week, which will make him Leeds’ top earner.
Here’s a full breakdown of every player in the Leeds squad and how much they earn in wages compared to Trafford.
