Southampton are allegedly tracking the Swansea City youngster.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Southampton are interested in signing Swansea City ace Daniel James in the summer, and should they be successful in their pursuit, he really would be an excellent addition for the Saints.
The 21-year-old has been in fine form for Swansea this season, chalking up three goals and six assists in 29 appearances in all competitions, and he also scored his first ever goal for Wales last weekend.
James is a real talent, and he seems to have all the makings of a truly elite player.
It seems like now is the right time to make the step up, and Southampton would be the ideal club for him to make serious waves in the game.
The pacey winger was close to joining Leeds United in a £10 million deal on transfer deadline day in January, according to the Telegraph, but that obviously failed to materialise.
And should Southampton be able to prise him away from the Liberty Stadium for somewhere around the £10 million mark, it would have to be considered as excellent business for Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side.
The Saints have made a bad habit of selling their best young players over the last decade or so, including the likes of Luke Shaw, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott, and the acquisition of James would be a great way in which to buck that worrying recent trend.
