Any Leeds fans unsure about how good a signing Daniel James would be perhaps only need to look at how some of the Swansea supporters have reacted to the reports to get their answer.

The Sun reported this week that the Whites are eyeing a move for the winger after being told that Hull have no plans to sell Jarrod Bowen this month. The report adds that Leeds are ready to meet his £3.5 million valuation.

James is enjoying a promising campaign at the Liberty Stadium, having provided three assists in the Championship for Graham Potter’s side.

He is into the final 18 months of his contract with the Swans, according to The Sun. Nevertheless, reports of a £3.5 million move to Elland Road have angered several fans, with some baffled by his valuation.

It is clear that plenty of supporters feel that James is one of Swansea’s most exciting talents, and letting him go this month would be a terrible move from the owners. But some fear that that is what is going to happen with Leeds lurking.

The 21-year-old is still a raw prospect in some ways, but it will give the Leeds supporters a lot of encouragement that Swansea’s fans appear to be so worried about the possibility of losing the youngster during this window.
