Daniel James has admitted it was 'tough' to leave Leeds United in the summer but ultimately feels as though it was the correct decision with the World Cup in mind. James made a season-long-loan switch to Fulham on deadline day after Leeds told him he was able to leave.
He had been at Elland Road for only 12 months prior to his move to Fulham, having joined in a £25 million deal on deadline day in the summer of 2021. James signed a long-term deal until 2026 with Leeds but was likely to see his game time limited with Luis Sinisterra, Jack Harrison, Brenden Aaronson, Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto all competing for his spot.
The 25-year-old is now in Qatar with Wales preparing to live up his dream of playing in the World Cup, which gets underway against USA on Monday. Speaking to Wales Online, James believes he made the right choice moving to Fulham to ensure he was ready for the World Cup.
