Tim Sherwood has said on Sky Sports News (2:07pm, October 16, 2021) that Daniel James is perfect for Leeds United.
The former Tottenham Hotspur manager has outlined why James, signed from Manchester United in the summer transfer window, is perfect for Leeds.
Sherwood said: “Dan James fits 1 million per cent to their style. 100 miles an hour, very direct, dribbler of the ball.”
How is Daniel James doing at Leeds?
James joined Leeds from Premier League rivals United on summer transfer deadline day.
Sky Sports reported that Leeds paid the Red Devils £25 million in transfer fees for the youngster.
The 23-year-old did not have a pre-season under Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
And that is showing at the moment.
Yes, there have been occasions when the Wales international has done well.
But, in our view, James has not exactly been great.
Just look at the stats.
The Leeds no. 20 has made four starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Leeds so far this season.
The winger has not scored or provided an assist.
There have been suggestions that Leeds should not have signed James at all this summer.
Now, we need to understand that it takes a while for players to get used to their new clubs.
James is quick, can run with the ball, puts in good crosses, and also works hard.
It will click for the winger at Leeds.
Eventually.
