Report: Leeds want to sign £45k-per-week star…PL club have made a decision – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Leeds United and Brighton are keen to sign Daniel James from Manchester United this summer, according to reports from The Sun.
James was close to joining Leeds when they were in the Championship, and Marcelo Bielsa still retains an interest in signing the highly-rated right winger.
The report claim that both the clubs are looking to sign the £45k-per-week Welsh winger on loan this summer, but Manchester United have other ideas.
United have bolstered their attacking midfield department this summer by signing Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for a massive fee of £72 million.
His arrival could see James dropping down the pecking order. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants him to stay at the club partly because Marcus Rashford may miss a chunk of the start of the campaign through injury.
In fact, the Red Devils may plan to hand the 23-year-old a new contract to keep him happy as a squad man.
This news will come as a blow for Leeds who are looking to sign another winger, despite signing Jack Harrison on a permanent deal from Manchester City.
Bielsa is an admirer of James, and he would be a smart signing for the Whites on loan.
One player who could leave United this summer is Anthony Martial. The Frenchman has reportedly become surplus to requirements at the club, and United are desperate to get rid of him.
