Leeds United winger Daniel James is emerging as a surprise target for Tottenham.

The London club are seeking a backup attacker for manager Thomas Tuchel.

Spain international Bryan Gil wants to go back to Valencia on loan for the whole season.

According to football.london, Gil will only leave if Spurs get a replacement, which has led to their interest in James.

However, Leeds paid a significant fee to Manchester United for James a year ago, and will not want to lose him with the season already underway.

The attacker may also not want to go back to a club where he is a rotation option, as he was at Man United.
