Kevin Phillips insists Leeds winger Daniel James isn't a striker.

James notched a brace in the recent 3-3 draw with Aston Villa but former England striker Phillips has insisted using the 24-year-old out wide is the way to get the best out of him.

He told Football Insider: "James is Bielsa['s] go-to man. Whether it be as a striker, a left-winger or a right-winger Bielsa plays him.

"The problem is, I don't know what his best position is. If you are playing every week, you are not going to question the manager as to where he's playing you.

"Yes, he scored a couple of great goals in the week but he's not a striker in my eyes. He's a winger. That's where his trickery and pace are most useful. He is clearly not a striker. To get the best out of a player like him you need to play him out wide.

"It can backfire if you keep playing a player in different positions. For me, he is an out-and-out wide man."
