Dan James: Fulham set to sign Leeds winger who is having a medical at Craven Cottage
Leeds forward Dan James is set to join Fulham on loan and is having a medical; Willian has completed a permanent move to Craven Cottage; Marco Silva views the Brazilian as a player who can add 'quality and experience'

Fulham are set to complete the loan signing of Leeds winger Daniel James, who is having a medical at the west London club.
The deal is not yet done and is no longer dependent on any potential Leeds incomings.
Wales international James is seeking regular first-team football ahead of the 2022 World Cup which commences in November.
Three other Premier League clubs have shown an interest in the 22-year-old this summer, including Tottenham.
However, James felt that he wouldn't get the game time he wanted if he were to join Antonio Conte's side.

Marsch remains coy on James
Leeds boss Jesse Marsch remained tight-lipped over possible transfer targets when questioned at a press conference held on Deadline Day, but confirmed Elland Road remained a hive of activity.
On the possibility of further business, Marsch said: "No comment because there is so much going on at Elland Road. [Director of football] Victor [Orta] is active.
"Different discussions have been made about strikers. I'm not sure how it will play out. I haven't had an update yet."
Marsch, whose side play at Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, also refused to comment on reports linking winger James with a move away from Leeds.
Willian completes Fulham move
Former Chelsea and Arsenal winger Willian has completed his move to Craven Cottage on Deadline Day.
The winger had been training with the first-team squad for the last two weeks after mutually terminating his contract at Corinthians.
Fulham boss Marco Silva was impressed with what he has seen from the 34-year-old in training and views him as someone who can add experience and quality to his squad.
