Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United reportedly wanted to sign Swansea City’s Daniel James in the January transfer window.
Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Swansea City starting talks with Daniel James over a new contract.
Swansea manager Graham Potter has revealed to BBC Sport that the Welsh outfit have started conversations with James – as well as with Leroy Fer and Mike van der Hoorn – over a new deal.
Potter told BBC Sport: “We have started those conversations and we’ll see where it goes. I like them as players and as people.”
James was linked with a switch to Leeds from Championship rivals Swansea in the January transfer window.
According to The Telegraph, the move of the 21-year-old – who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder – to the Whites on January transfer deadline day broke down due to conflict between then-Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins and the Welsh club’s American owners, Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien, over the sale of the youngster.
Swansea themselves issued a statement on their official website regarding James’s failed move to Leeds.
According to The Mirror, Leeds remain interested in the Wales international winger and may make a move again in the summer of 2019.
