The transfer mill is churning once again, with West Ham believed to be lining up a move for James Trafford, the goalkeeper from Manchester City . Sources close to the club suggest they are exploring options to reinforce their squad ahead of the run-in. West Ham are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Leeds, Tottenham and Aston Villa are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. This season (25/26) West Ham have shipped 49 goals in 26 matches - 1.88 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. James Trafford would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Alongside this, Manchester City are said to be exploring Morgan Gibbs-White, Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall with West Ham likewise connected to Aaron Escandell, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Edward Nketiah.
