Leeds have received a huge boost by an international star signing a new long-term deal.

Leeds United star Dan James has committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term deal, providing the Whites with a huge boost ahead of their Premier League return.

Wales international winger James played a key role in helping Daniel Farke’s Whites to promotion as 2024-25 Championship champions, supplying 12 goals and nine assists from 36 matches played.

The 27-year-old’s displays saw him voted by supporters as the club’s Player of the Season and also named in the EFL’s official Championship team of the year.

Winger’s existing Leeds contract only ran until the summer of 2026

The winger’s existing Leeds contract only ran until the summer of 2026 but James has now put pen to paper on a new four-year deal which runs until the summer of 2029.

James joined Leeds from Manchester United for £25m back in August 2021 and the flying winger has since made 123 appearances for the Whites, netting 29 goals and providing 22 assists.

Capped 57 times for Wales, James has also championed the Leeds United Foundation’s important work in the city during his time in West Yorkshire, most recently attending a Healthy Holidays camp for local school children in one of his many community visits.

A Leeds United spokesperson said: “Everyone at Leeds United would like to congratulate Dan on signing a new deal and we look forward to seeing him in action for the club in the Premier League.”

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Huge Leeds United transfer boost as 'personal terms agreed' with £17m midfielder after Sean Longstaff — YEP 16/7/25

By Kyle Newbould Leeds United appear to be zoning in on midfield reinforcements with just over one month until their Premier League return. Leeds United appear to have taken a big step forward in their pursuit of Anton Stach amid reports the midfielder has agreed personal terms on a move to Elland Road. The YEP exclusively reported on interest in Stach almost three weeks ago, with Leeds identifying the ball-winning midfielder as a prime candidate to add the kind of physicality and experience Daniel Farke desires. The 6ft 4ins German international is considered one of the best ball-winners in the Bundesliga and is expected to attract interest from several possible rivals. Leeds missed out on £47million pair Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to Sunderland but still saw the Hoffenheim midfielder and Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff as viable transfer targets, with a £15m agreement reached in principle for the latter this week. And now Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided an ...
