‘Tottenham are back’: Spurs are trying to sign ‘lightning quick’ player right now, talks underway – Romano

Tottenham Hotspur are trying to sign Leeds United winger Daniel James right now, .

Reports suggested last week that Spurs are interested in bringing James to North London in a late summer move.

James only joined Leeds from Manchester United last summer and hasn’t enjoyed the best period at Elland Road.

But it seems that Antonio Conte is keen to bring the Wales international to Spurs this summer.

Spurs trying to sign James

Fabrizio Romano reports that talks are now underway for Spurs to bring James in on a loan deal.

Negotiations are ongoing and the deal would include an option for Conte’s men to buy the 24-year-old.

But there are other clubs interested and the player will have to make a decision soon.

James is apparently happy at Leeds but will have to decide on his future before tomorrow’s deadline.

Spurs have been on the lookout for an attacking player as reports suggest they need to replace Bryan Gil before allowing him to join Valencia.

In what seems like a bizarre move, Spurs have clearly set their sights on James as their replacement.

The former Swansea man has shown some flashes of brilliance during his time at Manchester United and Leeds. But hasn’t quite lived up to his potential as of yet.
