Career

society

James started playing football at Hull City and moved to Swansea City in Wales for a fee of £ 72,000 in 2014 . There he initially played for their U-18 academy before becoming an important part of the Swans U-23 team . He first came into contact with the first team in January 2016 and was on the bench for the first time in the 3-2 cup defeat by Oxford United . After he did not come to any appearances for the professionals in the following months, he moved on June 30, 2017 until the end of the season in a loan deal to third division club Shrewsbury Town . After he couldn't make the leap into the first team there either, he returned to his home club after only two months.

He finally made his debut for Swansea City on February 6, 2018 in the 8-1 Cup victory over Notts County , where he also scored a goal. He made his league debut on August 17, 2018 in a 0-0 draw against Birmingham City . His first league goal was on November 24, 2018, when he scored the only goal of his team in a 4-1 home defeat by Norwich City . His performance at Swansea also drew the attention of league rivals Leeds United to the winger , who made an offer of £ 10 million with Swansea in January 2019. He and his club accepted the offer and James had already completed the medical check, but the offer was rejected shortly before the transfer deadline and he stayed with the Welsh. At the end of the 2018/19 season he had scored four goals in 33 league appearances and prepared nine more.

After weeks of speculation about his person, it was announced on June 7, 2019 that Daniel James will join the first division club Manchester United for the 2019/20 season . In his first competitive game for the Red Devils in a 4-0 home win against Chelsea on August 11, 2019, he scored a goal after being substituted on.

National team

He received his first call-up for the Welsh national football team in 2017 for the qualifier for the 2018 World Cup against Serbia . He made his debut against Albania in November 2018 . He scored his first goal in his second international match against Slovakia .
