EXCLUSIVE; Leeds United considered deal for 33-year-old, Wrexham now set to swoop.

Leeds United considered Matty James as a free agent midfielder, but he is now poised to join Wrexham, according to the Daily Mail.

Leeds United and Wrexham are both interested in free agent midfielders.

Yorkshire giants have signed Josuha Guilavogui to cover midfield and center-back positions. It comes after injuries to Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, and Max Wober.

Hollywood-owned Wrexham is looking for a striker to replace Jack Marriott and Steve Fletcher, who are now injured. As a result, recent suggestions of a probable transfer for midfielder Matty James will come as a surprise.

According to the Daily Mail, the Red Dragons plan to sign the 33-year-old. George Evans is injured, and George Dobson and Andy Cannon are about to be suspended, thus short-term midfield cover is required.

According to the report, Leeds United explored signing James.

After closing the middle deficit, Wrexham may now take advantage.
