Leeds United’s impressive season has seen many of its players perform well under Daniel Farke’s management. However, one standout player has caught the attention of former Leeds manager Simon Grayson – winger Dan James. After missing several games due to injury, James has returned to the starting lineup and is in contention to start against Stoke.
Grayson heaped praise on James, stating that he believes the winger deserves the Championship Player of the Season award. He commended James for adapting his game over the years, moving beyond relying solely on pace and developing new skills.
James has had a significant impact on the team, contributing to 21 goals, similar to Joel Piroe, but in fewer minutes. With his contract set to expire soon, Leeds fans will be concerned about losing their talented winger. Having Premier League experience with three different clubs, James would be a valuable asset for the team’s survival in the top flight.
Grayson’s comments highlight the importance of retaining James, who has thrived under Farke’s management after facing challenges under previous managers. Securing a new contract for James should be a priority for Leeds to ensure the team’s success in the Premier League.
