Many Leeds United players are producing the best form of their careers this season, as Daniel Farke continues to give his squad the freedom and the tactical nous to shine in the race for the top two.
Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter and enjoying their best two seasons in professional football – even if Rutter had been previously playing in the top tier of German football. Ethan Ampadu, as well.
The Wales ace has found his home after four consecutive loan moves away from Chelsea, and naturally, he is impressing more so than ever before. Pascal Struijk too, at least until he suffered his current injury.
Another is Dan James. At 26, he is older than the aforementioned names but he still thinks that he is in the best form of his life – despite starring at Swansea and glimpses at Manchester United, beforehand.
Yeah,” James told Sgorio over the weekend, when asked if he is showing the best form of his career at Leeds. “Obviously, I want to try and give as much as I can to the team. Consistency of games helps a lot.
“Having a manager that believes in you and players that understand your game. Everyone has moulded this season. It’s been great and I’ve really enjoyed it,” the speed machine continued, discussing his form.
Dan James says he is in the best form of his career at Leeds
He’s not the only person to suggest it, either. Daniel Farke recently said that the Wales man was too inconsistent before getting the chance to work with him. Clearly, Farke is getting the best out of James.
In 34 games in all competitions this term, James has had a hand in 17 goals for Leeds – failing to start in the League, though, since the 1-0 win over Norwich. He did start in the 3-2 FA Cup defeat at Chelsea.
With Leeds failing to beat Huddersfield on Saturday and the quick turnaround ahead of a clash against Stoke on Tuesday night, you would imagine James could be in line to return to the Leeds starting XI.
