Former Wales and Swansea defender Sam Ricketts believes Leeds winger Daniel James can become the country's most important player.

Ricketts discussed James after seeing Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale score twice in Wales' World Cup playoff win against Austria.

Ricketts wants James to step up to the plate once the legendary forward retires.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live post-match, he said: “Tonight was Gareth Bale, it generally is Gareth Bale. Sometimes Aaron Ramsey can pop up with a goal.

“Dan James is starting to get his chances, if he starts putting those away. He needs to take over this mantle once Gareth does stop playing. But, right now, while we have Gareth, anything is possible."
