Tottenham are aiming to sign Leeds United winger Daniel James today.

James was named as a substitute for Tuesday night's 1-1 draw at home to Everton in favour of recent signing Luis Sinisterra.

Spurs want James on-loan as they prepare to send Bryan Gil to Valencia in a similar deal.

Gil, 21, spent the second half of last season on loan at Valencia and, despite being named as an unused sub for Spurs' first three games of the season, is ready to go back temporarily to the Mestalla.

Valencia coach Rino Gattuso said on Saturday: “We have closed a deal for Bryan, Tottenham have told us that it is 99 per cent done. We have been waiting for him for two or three days.

“Tottenham have told us that they have to sign a replacement so that he can travel. We are waiting for Tottenham to sign another player."
