# Leeds: Fulham willing to meet Dan James asking price

**Fulham are reportedly looking to pip Tottenham to a deal for [Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) forward Dan James, according to [ESPN’s James Olley](https://twitter.com/JamesOlley/status/1564961502955814914).**

### The Lowdown: Spurs rumours

The 24-year-old has been linked with a late move to Spurs, with Antonio Conte’s side thought to be [confident](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/spurs-news-leeds-daniel-james-talks-thfc/) over a deal. Talks were [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/spurs-news-leeds-daniel-james-talks-thfc/) at an advanced stage, although the Wales international is still with Leeds in the final hours of the transfer window.

It looks as if there has been a transfer twist, though, with another London club now keen on his services.

### The Latest: Transfer twist

[Olley](https://twitter.com/JamesOlley/status/1564961502955814914), a senior reporter for ESPN, took to Twitter on Wednesday to provide an ‘update’ on James. He claimed that Fulham are ‘ready’ to match Leeds’ £20m asking price, with Tottenham only willing to sign the forward on loan.

[Phil Hay](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1565039589898723330) has shared what he knows, stating that James’ preference is to remain at Elland Road but Leeds haven’t ruled out an exit just yet.

[Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1565309774396268547?s=20&t=mk_HN0vywoxezJ_gnVM4BA) has since claimed that a deal is close, though he believes it could be a loan move, so time will tell whether Leeds get any cash for the player come the end of the day.

### The Verdict: Decision to make

It doesn’t look like PSV’s [Cody Gakpo](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1565226390148071429) will be heading to Yorkshire, and with time running out before the 11pm deadline, Leeds may have a decision to make regarding James.

It appears as if they could be tempted to sell the 24-year-old, but it would be a major gamble to green-light a move without a replacement lined up.

Victor Orta may well be working late into the night on the hunt for a forward, so James’ future could be one to keep an eye on today with Fulham now firmly in the race for the Welshman.
