Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge has reacted to reports suggesting that Tottenham are now pushing to sign Manchester City’s James Trafford.It has been widely reported over the last few months that Tottenham are eyeing a move for Trafford, who the Lilywhites allegedly wanted to take over from Guglielmo Vicario as their new number one.The England goalkeeper is thought to be keen on leaving the Etihad Stadium in search of regular game time after serving as Gianluigi Donnarumma’s backup last season.However, Tottenham secured the services of Martin Dubravka last week, and just a few days ago, Antonin Kinsky signed a new long-term Spurs contract, which appeared to be a clear sign from the Lilywhites that the 23-year-old will continue as the number one.Photo by Richard Sellers/Sportsphoto/Allstar via Getty ImagesTottenham allegedly express interest in James TraffordIt has been widely reported over the last few months that Tottenham are eyeing a move for James Trafford, who struggled for game time after his move to the Etihad Stadium last summer.It has now been claimed by The Independent’s Miguel Delaney that Spurs have expressed an interest in the Man City number two, as the club continue to shake up their goalkeeping options.Delaney claims that Trafford is seeking regular football and Enzo Maresca’s arrival at City has further changed the dynamic, with the Lilywhites now ‘pushing’ for a deal for the England internaitonal.The journalist adds that while Spurs have big hopes for Kinsky, Trafford is seen as someone who can bring ‘authority’ between the sticks.James Trafford links are instantly denied by Michael BridgeHowever, Michael Bridge has dismissed Delaney’s claim. The Sky Sports journalist revealed that Spurs will continue to be busy in the market, but insisted that Trafford is no longer a target.Bridge wrote on X: “Very busy few days for Spurs & more to come. However, understand James Trafford is not a Tottenham target.”Very busy few days for Spurs & more to come. However, understand James Trafford is not a Tottenham target. #THFC— Michael Bridge (@MichaelBridge_) July 2, 2026Delaney seems to be suggesting Tottenham have signed Dubravka as a third-choice keeper, and want Trafford to challenge Kinsky for the number one role.However, the Man City man would likely seek assurances of the number one role in order to greenlight a move to N17. Additionally, Kinsky may have sought similar assurances before signing a new deal.With reports indicating that Man City are demanding £40m for Trafford, it would be extremely surprising if the Lilywhites spent that much on another young goalkeeper this summer.Roberto De Zerbi loves two of Kinsky’s qualitiesIt was reported by The Times last week that De Zerbi loves Kinsky’s personality as well as his bravery on the ball.The outlet claimed that the Italian has decided to give the former Slavia Prague man a chance to cement himself as Tottenham’s number one after his impressive loan last season.After the goalkeeper penned a new contract a few days ago, De Zerbi declared that Kinsky can become one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
