Leeds hero Harte no fan of James

Former Leeds United defender Ian Harte admits he's not a fan of Daniel James.

The Wales international is known for his blistering speed and arrived at Elland Road for a reported fee of £25m last summer.

But Harte told Freebets: "Let's be honest, if he didn't have the pace, he wouldn't play in the Premier League. He doesn't have the knowledge or the know-how.

"It's just head down and run. He's got unbelievable pace, but like Adama Traore, he needs to learn to slow his legs down to get the cross in.

"The majority of games I've seen, they end up going over and across the crossbar.

"Signing him from United for 25 million when they had him for four million – he's done ok, he's got raw pace but I'm not a massive fan."
