Leeds United interest in Femi Azeez could spell trouble for Dan James at Elland Road | OneFootball

According to Leedsunited.news, Leeds United are tracking Millwall winger Femi Azeez after his form this season.

Leeds scouts have monitored the 23-year-old closely, and he has emerged as one of the Championship's more productive attackers.

Crystal Palace currently lead the race to sign him. Everton, Brighton, Fulham and Sunderland are also interested.

Azeez has 15 goal contributions in 26 Championship appearances, comprising seven goals and eight assists. That level of output from a winger draws Premier League attention.

He also struck twice against Leeds at Elland Road in the FA Cup, a display that would not have gone unnoticed by recruitment staff.

Dan James has posted similar numbers at Championship level, registering 10 goals and nine assists in 2024-25. This season injuries have disrupted his rhythm at Premier League level for Leeds.

Leeds are not under pressure to move him on, with his contract running until 2029. Daniel Farke has regularly praised him, once describing James as one of the best at that level. With Azeez monitored, his place could come under greater scrutiny.
