James pursuit rumbles on

With the transfer window coming to a close, Leeds United remain keen on Daniel James. The Swansea City star scored for the South-Wales club last night in a 3-3 draw with Birmingham City.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Leeds will ‘not give up’ on the Wales international.

Leeds ‘remain convinced’ they can secure his signature before the window shuts tomorrow.

Stevens tracked

Leeds United youngster Jordan Stevens is being monitored by Leicester City and Middlesbrough.

The midfielder joined the West Yorkshire side for a reported £250,000 plus a pre-season friendly last January.

He recently made his debut for the club but the Leicester Mercury, relaying information from the Mirror, suggest he is wanted by the Foxes and Boro.

Cassidy link

Leeds United are interested in Watford talent Ryan Cassidy. The Irish attacker has impressed with the Hertfordshire club’s youth team and the Whites are one of many teams keen on his signature.

It is claimed that Wolves, Southampton, Everton and Aston Villa are also keen on the 18-year-old. He would cost around £1 million, according to the Daily Mirror (live blog,30/01/18, 11:21).
