‘It was surprising’: BBC pundit can’t believe Leeds United let player go in the summer, he’s a real ‘threat’

BBC pundit Steve Sidwell has said he was surprised that Leeds United let Daniel James go this summer.

James had just struck the bar with a venomous eff🦹ort, prom𒉰pting Sidwell to comment on James’ summer move.

“From a personal point of view, it’s imperative that he gets out to play in terms of being in a World Cup squad.

“He’s been given that opportunity now at Fulham, and you can see the talent that he’s got.

“It was surprising with Le♑eds, as he’s got that pace, that threat, he energy that he po🍃ssesses as well, sometimes he just needs to break the mould and get out and showcase your stuff.”

Sidwell surprised Leeds let James go

Danielඣ James was the subject of a lot of transfer speculation this s💝ummer.

The Welshman was linked with a move to Tottenham, with Antonio Conte apparently a big fan.

The interest hasn’t gone away, with Spurs linked again with t🧸he 24-year-old last wee✃k.

However, James now has a season at Craven Cottage to concentrate on after being deemed surplus to requirements by Jesse Marsch.

The signings of Luis Sinisterra and Brenden Aaronson have given Marsch plenty of wide options.

There’s also the chance to give Crysencio Summerville more minutes this season after impressing witꩵꦍh the under-21s.

Despite Sidwell saying he’s surprised Leeds let James go, it do൲esn’t look🎀 like they’ve missed him a huge amount so far this season.

It’s up to James to sho𓃲w Marsch what he’s missing this 🔯season.

If the rumours persist into the next transfer window, James could also be playing to earn himself a move to north Londo🌼n.
