Leeds United have coughed up big to sign Manchester United winger Daniel James.
The Daily Mail says Leeds' reluctance to pay a £1.5million loan fee to Swansea for James two and a half years ago has ended up costing them 10 times that amount after they finally signed the Wales international for £25m from Manchester United this week.
The Yorkshire club had secured an option to buy James for just £10m at the end of the 2018-19 season.
However, they refused to meet Swansea's demands for a loan fee to cover the remainder of the campaign, which led to the player eventually joining United for £15m in June 2019.
