Leeds United are looking to secure a new contract for **Daniel James**, whose current deal runs until 2026. The club is keen to avoid the risk of a sale in 2025 by negotiating a longer-term agreement. After a busy summer transfer window that saw standout players like **Crysencio Summerville**, **Georginio Rutter**, and **Archie Gray** move to Premier League clubs, Leeds are eager to keep hold of the Welsh winger.
James, who has 53 caps for Wales, joined Leeds from Manchester United in 2021 and spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Fulham. He initially reclaimed a starting spot under manager **Daniel Farke** this season, starting the first three Championship games before an injury sidelined him. During his absence, **Wilfried Gnonto** has taken over the right-wing position.
Leeds’ efforts to tie James down to a new deal make sense, as his speed and attacking threat are valuable assets both in the Championship and the Premier League. By securing his future now, Leeds can protect his market value and avoid interest from other clubs looking to take advantage of any uncertainty over his contract.
