Leeds to offer Dan James new deal after loaning Man Utd flop out in last Premier League campaign

LEEDS are offering Dan James a new two-year deal — but talks are still going on.

The former Manchester United winger, 27, has a season left on his contract at Elland Road.

The Welshman was loaned out – to Fulham – the last time Leeds were in the top flight.

But James was a star performer as Leeds picked up 100 points to win the Championship on goal difference from Burnley.

Elland Road manager Daniel Farke’s position has still been under scrutiny.

But club chiefs are now expected to back the German – including with a hefty transfer budget.

The German will reportedly be handed up to £100million to spend this summer.

Newcastle’s Nick Pope is rated as a top contender to come in between the sticks.

Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher was understood to be on the Whites’ radar.

But Brentford won the race for the Irishman on a deal potentially worth £18million.

It follows concern over a dip in form for Leeds stopper Illan Meslier in recent months.

Meanwhile, Elland Road legend Kalvin Phillips is being linked with a return to his hometown club.

The former England midfielder, 29, has returned to parent club Manchester City following a mediocre campaign on loan with now-relegated Ipswich.

But for now he is recovering from Achilles surgery that could rule him out until August.
