# Leeds: Fabrizio Romano drops Dan James exit latest

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) winger Dan James looks set to complete a move to Fulham before the end of deadline day, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reports.**

### The Lowdown: James linked with exit

The Welshman has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-fulham-willing-to-meet-dan-james-asking-price/) with a move away from Elland Road before the summer transfer window concludes, having not been a key man for the Whites yet this season.

Granted, James he has [appeared in four](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/302313/Show/Daniel-James) [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) games in 2022/23 to date, starting twice, but he is [yet to register a goal or an assist](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/302313/Show/Daniel-James) in that time.

Time may be running out for late business to happen but it looks as though James could yet seal a Leeds exit.

### The Latest: Last-gasp move?

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1565309774396268547?s=20&t=ik4F1G9tSDks6_lQlQvWYQ), Romano claimed that Fulham are on the cusp of signing the 24-year-old, with Bamba Dieng the direct replacement for him:

> “Excl: Fulham are closing on Daniel James deal! Agreement set to be completed on loan from Leeds. Final details discussed right now.
>
> “Leeds are set to sign Bamba Dieng as replacement from OM for €10m.”

### The Verdict: Disappointing signing to date

While James’ attitude cannot be questioned, there is no denying that he has been a disappointment at Leeds overall, not producing enough end product.

He only registered [four goals and assists apiece](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/302313/History/Daniel-James) in 32 league matches last season and Jesse Marsch clearly believes Dieng is another level up from the Wales international.

James could yet be a force at Fulham, with age still on his side – he has been [hailed](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7886689/Marcus-Rashford-heaps-praise-brilliant-Dan-James-backs-better-Man-United.html) as ‘brilliant’ by former teammate Marcus Rashford – but losing him at the last minute doesn’t feel like a huge blow for Leeds after Dieng’s arrival.
