The pace of Dan James being too much for opposition defences to live with is nothing particularly new. What has been striking from the Leeds United winger is his serenity in front of goal when he gets there.
Twice in the first half of Saturday's win over Huddersfield Town, James burst through at great speed, then calmly slotted past Lee Nicholls. Twice Crysencio Summerville got the ball in the penalty area with a crowd in front of him and twinkled his toes until a small gap opened, then threaded the ball through it.
Three is a paltry return for a player of James’ talents, who has been used at centre-forward by Leeds, Wales and Manchester United in his time, but if he can recreate the finishing of the weekend, that should have shot up significantly by May. Seven goals for club and country – for the Red Devils in 2020-21 and Swansea City two years earlier – is the personal mark for the Hull-born player to beat.
