And this falling out further fueled his transfer rumours with City and Leeds.

Why Leeds Should Pursue?

Despite being stocked with an adequate amount of forwards, James is someone who could provide the edge for the Whites.

The Welshman also had his international breakthrough last month as he scored on his debut in the Euro qualifiers.

And with the speculated exit of loanee Jack Harrison back to his parent club Cityzens, James is the perfect option to fill his void.

Marcelo-Bielsa-

James could play, either as a natural winger or attacking midfielder, and he will have no problem in adapting to Marcelo Bielsa’s traditional 4-1-4-1 formation.

Moreover, with promotion hopes in foresight, Leeds should definitely strengthen their attacking options and James would help with that.
