Dan James has recorded four assists and a goal in his last seven Leeds United games an he carried that momentum into Wales' 4-0 win over Gibraltar on Wednesday
Momentum can take you far in football and that’s what Dan James seems to building at present as he continues to breathe life into his Leeds United career. The Welshman has been one of Daniel Farke’s most creative men this season in the Championship and he carried that form onto the international stage on Wednesday evening.
The Leeds man couldn’t get himself on the scoresheet, but he did record two assists of the finest quality to ensure the game was won just before the break. His first assist came as he set up Nathan Broadhead for Wales’ third goal, slotting a perfectly weighted pass through the line and into the area for the Ipswich Town forward, who deserves plenty of credit for the finish, beating a man on his way to goal.
He’s only credited with one assist after stepping off the bench against Millwall, with his pass leading to Joel Piroe’s second at The Den, but it was James’ work that led to Georginio Rutter’s effort, too. He followed that up with a couple of assists in the 3-0 win over Watford, picking out both Piroe and Sam Byram with crosses as United asserted their dominance against the Hornets.
It’s clear that James needs to continue performing, though, with competition for places on the flanks set to intensify in the coming weeks. The presence and performances of both Crysencio Summerville and Jaidon Anthony is already enough to put the 25-year-old under pressure for his spot in the side, but the return of Wilfried Gnonto looks set to give Farke something of a headache.
