It’s fair to say Dan James is approaching an uncertain summer at Leeds United. The Wales international winger spent the season on loan at Fulham after being deemed surplus to requirements at Elland Road as last summer’s transfer window approached its conclusion.
James struggled for consistency and form during his spell in west London, and while he did 20 league appearances under Marco Silva, most of those came off the bench. There has been nothing to suggest Fulham will be moving to make that switch permanent this summer and, as it stands, he is due to return to Thorp Arch during pre-season to begin preparing for the start of the new Championship season.
Given his situation there is an element of doubt surrounding his future at Elland Road and his next step remains to be seen. Having spent five straight seasons plying his trade in the Premier League, James should and ought to be seen as an attractive option for the Whites to utilise in the second tier.
