“Obviously to join a club of this size and to have the history it has had, and being back in the Premier League was a massive thing for me, so I’m over the moon to have joined,” James said.
“The stadium has obviously got one of the best atmospheres in world football.

Leeds are keen to strengthen their squad further before the end of the summer transfer window and signed forward Noah Okafor from AC Milan for £18m last week.
Their other new signings include England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, midfielders Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff, Brazilian keeper Lucas Perri, Sweden left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson and centre-back Jaka Bijol from Udinese. Centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw and forward Lukas Nmecha were also brought in after playing for Wolfsburg last season.
Conor Coady, Wilfred Ndidi, Mads Hermansen and Kasey McAteer have all left Leicester since their relegation from the Premier League last season, with sales – including Justin – totalling close to £50m.
