Daniel James’ Scintillating Display Against Swansea City Has BBC Pundit Jon Newsome Purring
Leeds United’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Swansea City on Saturday has sparked widespread praise for the team’s attacking prowess, with Daniel James’ performance drawing particular acclaim. The 27-year-old winger was instrumental in Leeds’ win, providing three assists and causing havoc for the Swansea defence with his pace and skill.
BBC pundit Jon Newsome was effusive in his praise for James, describing him as “unplayable at times” and suggesting that he is “too good for the Championship.” Newsome’s assessment of James’ performance was echoed by Leeds manager Daniel Farke, who praised the winger’s unselfishness and work rate.
“Listen, I think he is a great player and the one that will fill the boots of Summerville,” Newsome said. “He’s the one if he gets the run of games and he keeps fit, he’s too good for the Championship in my opinion.”
Newsome also highlighted James’ improved decision-making, noting that he was more willing to pick out his teammates rather than taking on shots himself. “I think he was unselfish today, two or three occasions in the past he’d probably take a touch or have a dig himself,” Newsome observed. “Instead, he’s stuck it across the six-yard box, we scored the own goal from it, scored the first goal from it through Solomon.”
James’ performance against Swansea was undoubtedly one of his best in a Leeds shirt, and Newsome’s praise is a testament to his growing influence on the team. With Leeds pushing for promotion to the Premier League, James will be crucial to their chances of success.
