Phil Hay: Leeds United optimistic of signing Daniel James from Swansea City

Leeds United are ‘optimistic’ of signing Daniel James from Championship rivals Swansea City before the end of this month, according to Yorkshire Evening Post journalist, Phil Hay.

Hay wrote on his personal Twitter account that getting the deal done for James is the ‘sole focus’ for Leeds at the moment.

The 21-year-old has impressed heavily for Swansea this season, and he has emerged as the top target for Leeds in the January transfer window.

Marcelo Bielsa is keen to bolster the attacking front following the departures of Samuel Saiz and Lewis Baker.
