Leeds CONFIRM the £30m signing of Daniel James from Manchester United on a five-year contract - as the Welsh winger reveals he is looking forward to playing alongside Kalvin Phillips after his rise with England at Euro 2020

Leeds United have confirmed the deadline day signing of Manchester United winger Daniel James on a five-year deal.

The Whites - who came agonisingly close to signing the Welshman in 2019 before Swansea City pulled the plug - had moved quickly to pounce for his signature after he was pushed down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 23-year-old, who scored nine goals in 74 appearances for United, wants to prove his worth and hopes he can have a similar impact as United team-mate Kalvin Phillips after the midfielder's impressive Euro 2020.
