winger Daniel James, we take a look at all his goals from this season
Will he go straight into Ole's XI?
James' £18m move to Manchester United is edging closer - but what will the
Wales international bring to Old Trafford and could he go straight into Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer's plans for next season?
Can James make the step up?
With just one season of senior football under his belt, could James already
compete for the wide attacking roles at Manchester United? Is he ready for the
leap up to the Premier League?
Analysis by Sky Sports' EFL expert David Prutton:
Swansea City's Daniel James celebrates
"Is he good enough for the current incarnation of Manchester United? I don't
see why not.
"Why not get someone in who is rapid and confident and has the exuberance
of youth to put the cat among the pigeons? They need something to liven them
up, so why not give him the chance?
Swansea City's Daniel James celebrates
"He can go in there fearless, not to the point where he is careless, but so he
can express himself. He has been well coached under Graham Potter at
Swansea and now is the chance to show what he can do on a bigger stage.
"He has the kind of electric pace that is reminiscent of United wingers of
yesteryear. It will be fascinating to see what happens for him there." ( Read the

Allen: James 'ready' for big move
James' Wales team-mate Joe Allen also believes the 21-year-old is ready to
take the step up and move to a big club .
The former Liverpool midfielder told Sky Sports News: "I think he [James] is
ready for it. I think it's obvious the way he has played all season, especially
the second half of the season.
"When we went down to the Liberty [Stadium] with Stoke he was electric on
that day - he scored a goal and basically got two lads sent off.
"I think that was a real eye opener for anyone, that this lad is going to go very
far in this game, and it seems like this summer it's going to happen for him."

Speaking in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Odumakin said Sanusi as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lied about missing money during the Goodluck Jonathan so as to force a regime change that ushered in the Buhari administration. “I have no strong views on his dethronement as there are more pressing important issues that should engage our attention ranging from insecurity to falling oil prices.
