Former England international Trevor Sinclair has told new Leeds United manager Sam Allardyce that he should try to bring back loanee Daniel James in order to help them stay in the Premier League.
The Whites sent out the Welsh international on loan to Fulham at the start of September last year, but the 25-year-old hasn't had the best start to life at Craven Cottage.
Despite that, his goal and assist against Everton a few weeks ago highlighted he still has what it takes after being told he was surplus by Jesse Marsch - who left Elland Road back in February.

Since then, the Whites continue to find themselves in the battle to survive from the threat of relegation having gone through another manager in the form of Javi Gracia.
With just four matches left and the arrival of Allardyce confirmed on Wednesday morning, Sinclair believes that if James was still at Leeds, they'd have a good chance of staying up.
"Look at the players they have let go. Look at Dan James," he pointed out on talkSPORT’s Kick Off live on Wednesday night. "I think Dan James has done excellent for Fulham.
"Sitting back, hitting on the counter attack; he’s got that pace and it is frightening pace that he’s got. They could use someone like that now because they really do need that pace on the counter attack."
