adminLeicester City have suffered a major setback after dropping into League One following a difficult season that saw them struggle for consistency and results.
Once Premier League champions, the club now faces the reality of rebuilding from the third tier, with questions growing over recruitment, management decisions, and overall direction after a disappointing campaign.
Elsewhere, Leeds United are enduring their own difficult spell in the Premier League, battling to find stability and results at the top level.
Despite efforts to strengthen and compete, their form has been inconsistent, leaving them under pressure as they try to avoid slipping further down the table and establish themselves in the division.
Leeds United are reportedly showing strong interest in Jordan James, who is keen to remain in English football following an impressive loan spell at Leicester City. James stood out during a tough season for Leicester, which ultimately ended in relegation from the Championship.
The 21-year-old midfielder recently won the Championship Young Player of the Season award and is expected to leave his parent club Rennes this summer. Leeds are believed to be monitoring his situation closely, with James preferring to stay in England rather than return to France, ideally at Premier League or top Championship level.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke is expected to push forward with transfer plans ahead of the new season, with James high on the club’s shortlist.
Jordan James (2025–26 Championship stats):
Appearances: 33
Goals: 11
Assists: 4
Chances created: 53
Touches in opposition box: 58
Successful crosses: 39
He finished the season as one of the most productive midfielders in the division.
Reports suggest multiple clubs are now interested, with Rennes expected to demand around £20 million for the midfielder after his strong campaign. Leeds believe he could bring goals, energy, and creativity to their midfield as they prepare for life in the Premier League.
