Leeds United are still enthusiastic in signing Daniel James this summer and could soon launch a new approach to bring in the winger from Manchester United.
The Welshman came close to joining Leeds in 2019 and was even pictured brandishing a club shirt as a deal seemed close.
However, their attention in him has never disappeared, despite him then going on to sign for Manchester United later that year.
Despite a bright start at Old Trafford, James has never been a traditional starter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Indeed, amid the background of Sancho’s arrival, it’s reported that James he is ‘assessing his options’.
Now trusted Leeds journalist Phil Hay claims the club remains keen on the player.
Speaking on his podcast ‘The Phil Hay Show’, he revealed that Marcelo Bielsa remains a huge admirer of James.
When asked if Leeds could sign him again, Hay remained careful.
“That’s a question for Bielsa because Bielsa is forever interested in Dan James.
“You probably remember last summer that before they did the deal for Raphinha, they were looking into the possibility of bringing Dan James in on loan from Manchester United.
“I don’t think it was ever really a possibility because it didn’t seem as though Solskjaer wanted him to go.
“I get the feeling that Bielsa will consistently be interested in Dan James though. He very big on him when leeds nearly got him from Swansea.”
