Villarreal submits formal offer for Jordan James

Villarreal CF has lodged a formal offer with Stade Rennais for Jordan James.

James, 21, is a Welsh midfielder.

At Leicester City FC, James scored 11 goals.

He also provided four assists.

The yellow-clad side aims to outpace Premier League clubs in the transfer race.

Acquiring James would add depth to Villarreal’s midfield.

James is currently under contract with Stade Rennais.

Villarreal’s bid directly competes with Premier League interest.

Stade Rennais must now decide on the formal proposal.

A decision will determine whether James moves to Villarreal before the next window.
