“Super Excited” – James Rallies Teammates Ahead of Arsenal Clash….
Leeds United winger Daniel James has expressed his delight following the team’s recent victory and is already looking forward to the challenge of facing title-contenders Arsenal in their next Premier League outing.
Speaking to Radio Leeds, James admitted the hard-fought win earlier in the week was not only a confidence booster but also a crucial result that relieves some pressure before traveling to North London. “Super excited,” James said. “For us to play so well on Monday, but to get the three points was massive for us, as it takes that little bit of pressure off us going into the next game because Arsenal are such a good side that is going to battle out for the title this season, and they have made great signings.”
Leeds had been under scrutiny following a string of inconsistent results, but their performance in the last match showed glimpses of resilience and sharp attacking play. The win has left the squad in high spirits, with James emphasizing that momentum will be vital as they prepare to face Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal — a team widely tipped to challenge Manchester City for the title this season.
The Gunners have strengthened significantly over the summer transfer window, adding depth and quality to an already formidable squad. James acknowledged this but stressed that Leeds will not approach the clash timidly. “But we have to go there with great belief,” he added. “It’s the games we want to play in, and we will go in and give our all.”
For Leeds, the upcoming fixture represents both a challenge and an opportunity. While few will expect them to take points off Arsenal at the Emirates, James believes the pressure-free environment could allow the players to perform with freedom and showcase their fighting spirit.
Leeds fans will be encouraged by the winger’s upbeat tone and determination, as the team continues its battle for stability in the top flight. If the squad can replicate the intensity and togetherness displayed in their last outing, they could cause problems for Arsenal, who cannot afford to underestimate the visitors.
With James setting the tone, Leeds are heading into the clash with optimism, belief, and the hunger to prove themselves against one of England’s elite sides.
