I think\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0going to be a demand for [Trafford].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s\u00a0a quality keeper and I think\u00a0there are\u00a0a few clubs that are still unhappy in that position. But certainly those are the sort of the three clubs I think,\u00a0yeah, Newcastle, Villa, Spurs are\u00a0where\u00a0I think\u00a0Trafford may end up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0very hard\u00a0to think\u00a0your\u00a0number two to Donnarumma\u00a0because you\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0not going to get much chance unless he gets injured.\u00a0So\u00a0I think he will make a move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0fair to him because\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0a quality young keeper.
