Dowda has been with Bristol City since 2016. The versatile winger, who can play on either flank, has scored two goals and provided three assists in 22 Championship appearances this season.

Leeds are looking to bolster their attacking set up following the departure of Samuel Saiz, and it seems they have considered the Republic of Ireland international as a potential option.

The Whites are close to securing the signing of Kiko Casilla, and once they complete the move, they are likely to make a serious effort to sign James.
