'Not a massive fan' - Leeds United's Daniel James handed strong criticism by ex-Whites star

Leeds United winger Daniel James wouldn't be a Premier League player if he didn't have the pace. That's the opinion of former Leeds and Reading defender Ian Harte, who has likened the Welsh international to Adama Traore given his physical attributes and technical ability.

James has had a sometimes difficult campaign since his £25million move from Manchester United last summer, chipping in with four goals and four assists in 26 games. He has also failed to find the net in his last eight appearances dating back to the 3-3 draw against Aston Villa, where he grabbed a brace.

Arguably, his lack of consistency could be down to not playing in his natural position. James has been used in a lone striker role for the majority of the season after Patrick Bamford picked up an ankle injury in September.
