Daniel James was a player that was linked with a move to Leeds United for the majority of the January transfer window, and his move seemed all but confirmed when he arrived for a medical with the Whites. 

But the move fell through in the final hours, with Swansea not responding to paperwork that was needed to complete the transfer in time before the 11pm deadline.

With James not being included in the Swansea squad in their defeat to Bristol City at the weekend, it raised questions about his future at the club.

Speaking in an interview with Swansea's official website, James spoke in depth about his return to the club after his move to Elland Road fell through.

“It has been a tough few days with everything that’s gone on. But I’m back here now, I trained today and I really enjoyed it.

“I do love it here, the boys have welcomed me back and there were a few laughs and jokes. It's been just the same as it has been.”

The youngster also revealed the reason why he wasn't involved in the squad for their game at the weekend, with the winger wanting to be mentally prepared for the Swans, which he wasn't.

"It wasn’t that my head wouldn’t have been in the game.

"My head is here but with going back and forth I didn’t feel I’d prepared myself right and the last thing I wanted was to have a bad game and people think my head wasn't in it."

James will be hoping to focus with matters on the pitch for the remainder of the season, and could be in line to start when Swansea host relegation-threatened Millwall at the weekend.

The Verdict: 

I think it's only a matter of time before he moves to Leeds.

James evidently wanted the move to Elland Road and surely his head isn't going to be in focusing on life with Swansea for the remainder of the season.

I would be stunned to see him stay with Swansea during the summer, and surely Leeds will register their interest in the midfielder once the transfer window opens again.
