Phil Hay reveals Daniel James on the verge of Leeds switch

Leeds United are thought to be on the verge of finally adding a winger to their ranks this January as the window enters the final few hours.

Phil Hay has revealed on Twitter that The Whites have managed to get a ‘deal in place’ for Swansea City’s Daniel James.

The Yorkshire Evening Post journalist, who has proven to be a reliable source of information for all things Leeds, has also stated that the Wales international is ‘now having a medical’.


The 21-year-old is thought to have been one of Marcelo Bielsa’s main targets this January and see him as a player that can help them achieve promotion to the Premier League.

The Elland Road outfit currently sat at the top of the Championship table and three points clear of Norwich City, who are their opponents on Saturday.

The Verdict:

James has been linked with a move to Leeds all month and it appears that a deal is on the verge of being completed.

The winger has been impressive for Swansea this season and possesses a real attacking threat that The Whites could benefit from as they look to finally win promotion.

With Kiko Casilla and Mateusz Bogusz arriving so far, James could cap off an excellent January transfer window for Bielsa and his side.
