Rob Page, the manager of Wales, has instructed premier league clubs to pursue "Premier League player" Daniel James.
The future of the Wales winger's club career is still up in the air following Leeds' Sky Bet Championship relegation.
James spent the 201819 campaign on loan at Fulham, but he has since returned to Leeds and the Championship, where he excelled at Swansea and secured a 2019 transfer to Manchester United.
I believe DJ is a Premier League player, and he could easily return to the league, stated Page.Personally, I would sign him if I were the manager of a Premier League team and learned that he was available.Since I am his Welsh manager, I must confess that he always presents a threat to me.
James joined Leeds from Manchester United in August 2021 for a price of 25 million.
With only five Premier League starts out of 23 appearances across all competitions, the 25-year-old Fulham player struggled to get into games while also scoring three goals.
James started 34 straight competitive games before being benched for the World Cup loss to Iran in November. James has frequently saved his greatest performances for a Wales jersey.
In recent months, "He has taken one for the team because I've asked him to play a different role," Page stated in front of upcoming Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Armenia and Turkey.
He enjoys playing with a wide left, and the way we currently play works for us because he gives us the left-side width.
He is that option in the background, and having a tool like that in your arsenal is incredibly effective.He is a danger both in the Premier League and internationally. He had a difficult few months when I paired him with Gareth (Bale) at center forward.
"Now that we've switched, he's back outside in his natural position."
With four points from their first two games in March, Wales returns to play on Friday against Armenia at home and three days later against Turkey in Samsun.
Page, who has sent his team to Portugal to train for the Euro 2024 doubleheader, claims that talking to Warren Gatland, head coach of the Wales rugby team, has been beneficial.
