Dan James and Leeds United are approaching something of a crossroads this summer as his future at the club begins to come into focus. It was made clear to the winger that he was considered surplus to requirements at Elland Road last summer as Leeds made the decision to loan him to Fulham in the hope of adding new faces to their squad.
However, he is due to return to West Yorkshire at the end of the season when his loan at Craven Cottage comes to an end and both the player and the club have decisions to make regarding the next step in his career. James was clearly a part of Jesse Marsch’s United plans at the start of the Premier League season.
The Wales international missed the first match of the season through suspension, but he featured in the next four games for the Whites, starting twice, as the club got off to a fine start to the campaign. As the transfer deadline neared, though, he was the man that was deemed to be the most expendable within the ranks and he was sent out on loan to Fulham for the remainder of the season.
