Leeds United News have the latest exclusive information on a player linked to the Whites with the same agent as Dan James.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dan James penned fresh terms at Elland Road this summer<\/a> via a four-year deal at Leeds United<\/a>, with James taking a pay cut to remain with Leeds<\/a> past 2026.<\/p>\n

However, his agent also represents a number of other players and Daniel Farke\u2019s side are in advanced talks with another. Leeds United News<\/strong> revealed exclusively that\u00a0James Justin of Leicester City is on Leeds\u2019 radar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then, Justin and Leeds have advanced closer to a conclusion<\/a>. The Leicester defender arguably needs a fresh start at Leeds<\/a> and they are now closing in on the deal to bring him in.<\/p>\n

Speaking yesterday Leeds United News <\/strong>transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey revealed Justin is a player they are interested in alongside Ainsley Maitland-Niles.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cJames Justin, as we know, is a player \u2014 like a Maitland-Niles \u2014 that Leeds need. Leeds require someone, and they\u2019re looking at players who can cover both sides. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe can do a very good job. Not on small money, though, that\u2019s the thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\nTeam<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLuton Town<\/td>\n114<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLeicester City<\/td>\n168<\/td>\n11<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nEngland<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Despite that potential stumbling block with wages, Bailey has since posted a follow-up this morning with more positive news.<\/p>\n

Bailey provided the latest: \u201cLeeds have now held talks with Justin\u2019s camp and have made progress with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is very keen to make the move \u2014 Leeds know there are other clubs keen and they want to get this over-the-line as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0It is believed\u00a0England international Justin would cost Leeds around \u00a36 million<\/a>, with Everton also interested.<\/p>\n

Justin is not the only player Leeds like at Leicester and it was said\u00a0Leeds held a meeting with Bilal El Khannouss\u2019 camp<\/a>\u00a0last week.<\/p>\n

That was amid claims that Leeds\u2019 El Khannouss interest has been most serious<\/a>\u00a0of any of the reported teams in the race of late.<\/p>\n

However, there have been conflicting reports. One statement has been made believing that Leicester are likely to sell El Khannouss<\/a> and now Newcastle United have dropped out of the El Khannouss race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Others say that\u00a0El Khannouss is not guaranteed to leave Leicester<\/a>. More frustratingly for Leeds,\u00a0West Ham United have joined the El Khannouss race<\/a>\u00a0just after Newcastle dropped out for the playmaker.<\/p>\n

Other Leeds fans want Abdul Fatawu on top of Justin and El Khannouss<\/a>, but there is still a chance they secure two players from Leicester imminently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United News have the latest exclusive information on a player linked to the Whites with the same…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":346225,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,72047,393,4884,114818,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-346224","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-dan-james","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-james-justin","13":"tag-leeds","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115032175887334089","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346224\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
