Micah Richards singles out one Leeds United player who’s been ‘outstanding’ this season
Leeds United’s squad has been excellent this season, but Micah Richards sees one player who has stood out above all.
Leeds fans probably won’t be singing the praises of their side after a dismal performance in a 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth.
The loss ends Daniel Farke’s side’s 17-game unbeaten streak in the Championship and now hands a real blow to the Whites’ Premier League promotion bid.
Neil Warnock doesn’t think Farke will worry, and the Leeds boss will probably have full focus ahead of Millwall at home on Wednesday night.
It seems like Brendan Aaronson should be dropped after Portsmouth, but according to pundit Richards, there is no chance of this happening to one Leeds star after his performances this season.
Micah Richards hails Dan James as ‘outstanding’ for Leeds United
Richards is a huge name in the punditry world, so it’s always worth hearing his thoughts on the Whites, especially as Richards has admiration for Leeds.
Dan James is someone who has caught the pundit’s eye this season, and despite the defeat to Pompey on Sunday afternoon, it’s hard to ignore how good the Welshman has been.
The winger’s contract expires in 2026, but the 49ers want a new contract for James, and what Richards has said adds to why he deserves a new deal.
