Report: Leeds reignite interest in signing £45k-per-week star from PL rival club
Leeds United have reignited their interest in signing Daniel James from Manchester United, according to the Daily Mail. James, who is on £45k-per-week wages at United, was very close to joining Leeds when they were in the Championship.

The signings of Junior Firpo (£13 million) and Jack Harrison (£11.5m) show that Leeds are ready to spend money to keep their place in the top flight. The 23-year-old has a contract at the club until 2024, and it is doubtful that United will offload him permanently unless they receive a massive offer. James ha...

Manchester United ready to offload Leeds United target
After completing a massive £72.9 million signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United are reportedly ready to offload Daniel James.
