Daniel Owen James

Daniel Owen James

Daniel James attacks space on the left, using pace to threaten the channel and pin centre-backs for Leeds United. Daniel James repeatedly runs beyond the line to finish moves. He thrives on rapid runs behind. His professional debut came with Swansea City in 2018, where he scored in an FA Cup win. A high-profile transfer to Manchester United followed in 2019, where he scored on his debut. Daniel James later joined Leeds United in 2021 and helped the club win the Championship in 2024/25. On the international stage, Daniel James represented Wales at Euro 2020. The winger presses high and links play with one-touch layoffs to sustain Leeds' attacking rhythm.
