Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper James Trafford tries to keep an eye on Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson among several Premier League stoppers to help influence his own career.
The 19-year-old is on loan at Wanderers from Manchester City for the rest of the season after joining in the January transfer window.
He has slotted straight into Ian Evatt's team and is yet to concede having kept two clean sheets in both of his appearances for the League One club.

Trafford is from Cumbria but joined City aged 12 in 2015 and has set his sights on becoming the club's number one goalkeeper one day.
But a Cumbrian lad, born in Cockermouth, growing up in Greysouthern and being part of the youth team ranks at Carlisle United, naturally has one eye on another goalkeeper from that part of the world who plays across the City.
Manchester United's Dean Henderson comes from Whitehaven and joined United around the same time Trafford joined City in 2015.
Outlining his biggest influences, Trafford picked out Henderson due to his Cumbrian roots, as well as the likes of City number one Ederson, Liverpool's Allison, Edouard Mendy of Chelsea and Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale as among those he looks at and takes elements from their respecitve styles.
But fundamentally, Trafford wants to be his own man and develop into the goalkeeper he feels he can become.
He said: “I like watching a lot of goalkeepers. I try and watch a lot of Dean Henderson because he is from Cumbria and I have seen a lot of him through the years.
“I try and be unique and play how I enjoy it the most.
“Obviously you see players like Ederson, Allison, Mendy, Ramsdale and take stuff from them but I just try to be James Trafford.
“I just want to look forward to coming in training the next day, keep developing with the ball at my feet and try to contribute how I can."
