Phil Hay provides latest update on Leeds target Daniel James as deadline day approaches

Leeds United are desperate to sign Daniel James before Thursday’s deadline day from Championship rivals Swansea City.

The highly rated 21-year-old player scored for Swansea during their 3-3 draw against Birmingham City on Tuesday evening.

James has emerged as Leeds’ first choice target in January and the club are increasingly confident of securing his signature. Swansea are reluctant to lose their prized asset but a source who is close to James has told Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Phil Hay that the deal will “100% get done”.

The reliable journalist has added in his tweet that the big question is whether the deal will actually go through.
