Joe Allen believes it was a lucky for Daniel James that his January transfer to Leeds United collapsed.
James is on the verge of an £18million move from Swansea to Manchester United and he was understood to be having a medical on Thursday.

Daniel James almost joined Leeds United in January
The 21-year-old nearly joined Leeds six months ago but that switch fell through in the dying hours of the January transfer window.
He stayed with Swansea and continued his impressive form for the remainder of 2018/19, and James looks to have earned a move to the Premier League.
James’ Wales team-mate Allen believes it was good for the winger that his proposed move for Elland Road collapsed at the 11th hour.

Joe Allen believes the move falling through was a ‘blessing’ for James
He said: “Leeds wouldn’t have been a bad move, of course not, but it has almost been a blessing it didn’t happen.
“In the second half of the season I think there is plenty of clubs above that level who have come to the fore and that is the sort of bracket he is in now.
“Second half of the season, he has been on fire.”

Allen also believes he knows the game that attracted Manchester United’s and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attention.
James was sensational against Stoke City, Allen’s club, in April where he scored in a 3-1 Swansea win.
Allen added: “That was the day that probably sealed the potential Man United move. He was electric,” said Allen.

“He scored, got two men sent off and caused carnage all game. It was one of the best individual performances I have ever seen as a fellow player.
“He looks ready to make the next step, if I am honest. He has the potential to be a top player and I think he is ready for it.
“When we went down to nine men, Ashley Williams got the short straw to go out to right-back to deal with him. I think Dan took it easy on him — and Ash was giving him about a 30-yard cushion.”
