Daniel James
28-Year-Old
Leeds United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
James is set to return to the Premier League with Leeds United after he scored 12 times and added nine assists last season in the Championship. It's encouraging production in the second tier, but James has previously shown an inability to produce near the same output in the Premier League. The winger has improved during his time with Leeds United and will get plenty of chances in the starting XI, but a loss of set pieces last season won't help in production. He might be most likely to hit 10 goal contributions for Leeds, but anything more than that would be surprising.
Finds bench role
James (back) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa.
ANALYSIS
James is named on the bench for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa after returning from a back injury that kept him out of the last match. The forward has struggled with multiple injuries this season and continues in a rotational role. The club appears to be managing his workload carefully as he builds back fitness.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs could sign him
Tottenham are looking to sign James on loan for the entire 2022-23 season, according to soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
ANALYSIS
Several top sides have kept close tabs on the Wales international this summer, and all signs point toward James leaving Elland Road to play for a Champions League contender. The Spurs have been the most active side on his pursuit and should be treated as front-runners to land his services.
