Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has delivered a big transfer update on Daniel James, and Leeds United fans will love it.

Throughout the day, we have covered multiple updates on James’ evolving transfer situation.

As the day progressed, it became increasingly clear that Leeds are leading the race for the 23-year-old winger.

James, who nearly joined Leeds back in January 2019, is expected to drop down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Telegraph reported that the Whites have agreed a deal of around £30 million for James.

However, Football Insider claimed this evening that Everton have made a late entry in the race and are looking to hijack the deal.

“A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Everton have also registered their interest in James,” they wrote.

“That could spell trouble for Leeds, who famously came within a whisker of signing James from Swansea City in January 2019.”

However, Romano has reiterated that Everton are currently not looking to hijack the deal for James, adding it’s always been Leeds throughout the day.

The popular journalist also adds that the deal will be signed, and the player is expected to be at Leeds tomorrow to sign the contract.

Been told Everton are currently not hijacking Daniel James deal… let’s see what happens but it’s always been Leeds United since today around 1pm and also now. Deal set to be signed. Permanent €28m guaranteed ⚪️
