Of course Leeds United boss Bielsa might have some difficulty convincing Lampard to allow one of his players head to Elland Road out on loan. Considering ‘Spygate’ and the play-off clashes, Lampard might not be forthcoming. 

James will be known to Leeds fans as well, as he scored a fantastic free-kick against the Whites whilst on loan at Wigan Athletic last season. 

Considering his ability to play in several positions he would undoubtedly be a brilliant addition for Leeds in January. At the moment, however, it does not seem as though Chelsea are prepared to let him go.
