Sheffield United will monitor the situation of 21-year-old Welsh international Jordan James over the summer. The midfielder's career is reportedly not controlled by Leicester, and an exit appears increasingly likely. James is on loan from Stade Rennais until June 2026 and is supposedly one of three Leicester City players on Sheffield United's transfer list, alongside Harry Souttar and Hamza Choudhury. Any potential transfer of all three players would be contingent on Chris Wilder's recruitment team successfully managing the financial aspects. This is viewed as a calculated move to strengthen the central positions of the United team. The midfielder has also been linked with Crystal Palace, Everton, and Celtic. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €12.00m. Reports from April 2026 state that Rennes' asking price for the player is between £20 million and £25 million.
