Fabrizio Romano and Ed Aarons report that Leeds are in advanced talks over a move for Daniel James from Manchester United on a permanent deal more than two years after they almost signed him on loan.
Despite starting the victory over Wolves on Sunday, the Wales forward has been used sparingly at Old Trafford under Ole Gunnar Solskjær and the impending arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus means the 23-year-old will be even further down the pecking order after they also signed Jadon Sancho for £73m from Borussia Dortmund.
Leeds have now approached the Old Trafford club with a view to completing a transfer for James, with negotiations understood to be taking place over a fee and personal terms.
Having paid around £15m to sign him from Swansea in 2019 after a proposed loan move to join Leeds had collapsed in the January transfer window, they are likely to demand a fee of around £20m for James, who has another three years left on his contract.
Several other Premier League clubs are also believed to have also shown an interest in recent weeks.
