Daniel James Next Club Odds

Reports linking Manchester United players with moves away from the club have seriously picked up over the last week.

The Red Devils look set to be in for a busy end to the transfer window, and one name that is being rumoured with a departure is Daniel James. The Welshman's future appears to be dependent on the potential arrival of Jadon Sancho, which would push the 22-year-old down the pecking order.

James already struggles to break into the starting XI down the right channel, given the emergence of Mason Greenwood, and a £100m arrival is not going to help his cause. We've had a look into his next club odds on SkyBet, where loan deals do count.

Daniel James signing for Leeds. Ring a bell? The winger was famously captured holding up the White jersey outside Elland Road back in January 2019, before his transfer to the club miraculously collapsed.

Marcelo Bielsa is reportedly still a fan of the young talent though, and the manager has been keen to bolster his options this summer. Leeds have enjoyed a strong start to the season, but the club are still looking for more reinforcements.

A pacy attacking outlet like James would offer depth to their wide flanks, without costing much whatsoever. United may ask for a loan fee, but given the Peacocks' spending so far, this wouldn't be a stumbling block.

At 7/4, they are the huge favourites for his signature.

Similar to Leeds, Brighton have enjoyed a bright start to the new season.

Their two defeats in the league only came via Chelsea and United, two games where the Seagulls will have felt hard done by. Graham Potter has established a solid system at The Amex, and won't be too fearful of the drop.

To help elevate the quality of the squad and push on for more ambits achievements, James does make sense on paper. Neil Maupay and Leandro Trossard are the two starting wide-men, but there is a lack of quality in depth. Alireza Jahanbakhsh is yet to prove his worth, and barring the Iranian, there are no other natural wingers.

A James arrival would also allow Maupay to shift central in a 4-3-3 system, with Potter liking to operate with stacked numbers in the middle. In terms of output, you'll do well to find a quicker right-channel that compromises of the Welshman and Tariq Lampety.

However, the Seagulls are a large 12/1 to sign him this summer.

The two other clubs to compromise SkyBet's market are Aston Villa and West Brom. Both teams share an underdog price of 16/1, with moves looking unlikely.

Villa recently invested £17m into winger Bertrand Traore, who will challenge Trézéguet, with Jack Grealish occupying the left channel. Dean Smith's side have started their campaign strongly, scoring 4 goals in their opening 2 games. Their transfer recruitment appears to be done and dusted, with there being little room in the squad for James.

West Brom's priorities also look to lie elsewhere - they secured Grady Diangana early on in the window, and fellow winger Grady Diangana is arguably the Baggies' best player. Matt Philips is also more than a satisfactory option to have.

Although James would still benefit both clubs, given their aims of survival, a move looks highly unlikely from either, hence their large prices.

United would want first-team football guaranteed in any deal, something the above two can't offer.
